How to get the swelling to go down?

Karla

My 2 and a half months old tragus is still swollen and it got so swollen my jewelry is now too small! (I had it downsized two weeks ago, but I guess the tragus grew again and now my stud is pushing into my skin and I have a bump on the inside of my ear)

Is there anything I can do to get the swelling down?? I do salt water soaks twice a day and spay some antiseptic spray which my piercer said I could use...

A tragus piercing generally takes 6 months to heal. It is normal for a piercing to sometimes swell up a bit during healing time. Try getting the original bar that you were pierced with back into the piercing and try giving it some time to heal that way and if it is not getting any better I would recommend taking it out bevor it gets any worse.
