daith piercing healing process? advice?

i got my daith piercing a few days ago. i’ve never gotten any other piercings than my ear lobes and i’m a little confused on how to care for it, but i’m terrified of getting keltoids. i’ve been spraying it every night with wound wash, a type of saline solution. do i need to soak it or is spraying it okay? they say it should heal in 6-9 months so do i have to wait that long to sleep on that side again?? please share your experiences with daith piercings!!
