If a baby's pierced ear is infected, it is important to first remove the piercing to allow the infection to heal. Keeping the area clean with water and soap multiple times a day can help prevent further complications. If the swelling, redness, or pain worsens, or if other symptoms like fever or pus develop, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. While there is a risk that the hole may close up if the piercing is removed, it is necessary for the healing process to take place before considering re-piercing in the future.
