Do I have a possible persistent infection because of an earring?

It is possible to have a persistent infection due to an earring. If you have tried cleaning it with mild soap and water and then switched to saline solution for a wound that formed, it is important to monitor for worsening symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, fever, or discharge. If the swelling does not decrease or if you experience any new symptoms, it would be wise to consult a doctor for proper treatment.
