I got the top of my Cartilage peicing yesterday
It didn't hurt getting it done but because my cartilage is very tough
It took a while to get in.
I've had it for about 1 day and it hurts but its mild but the sting hurts allot
It isn't red and it hasn't puffed up
Its given me a headace I wanted to know can I take antiboitics
Also I wanted to know the signs of infection
Amd how long it takes before I can put different peicings in and how long in total it would take to heal
And please I use disinfectant to clean my ears it stings is this good
If now what other product should I use and how do I clean my ear properly
Sorry... allot I've asked but I'm really paranoid thankyou(:

I've always heard 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the person before you change earrings. The person who did the peircing may be able to change your earrings out earlier and determine when you're ready to change them out on your own.

Unless you have signs of infection (red, swollen, seeping), I wouldn't advise your taking antibiotics. If you do decide to take some, be certain to have a physician prescribe them for you.
