Caring for a piercing

My septum piercing is starting to scab and hurt really badly on the left side. There's also a bump on both sides but the one on the left is obviously worse. I got it pierced about 5 months ago. What would you guys suggest I do to alleviate some pain and help it heal?

I know the picture isn't the best but hopefully it's clear enough.
