Septum Piercing

So i got my septum pierced about a month ago but it still hurts like it’s fresh. i keep it flipped up almost all the time and i only flip it down if it has a lot of lil crusties on it that i can’t remove while it’s flipped up. i used to clean it with a hydrogen peroxide and water mixture because i don’t have a saline solution but lately i’ve been leaving it alone and only soaking it in water when wash my face. another recent thing, when i flip it down it flips back up by itself but it didn’t used to do that and i don’t think the placement is too low. help?
