What should I do if I got my ear cartilage pierced on Sunday and since then it has been red, swollen, and painful?

If you have recently gotten your cartilage pierced and it is now red, swollen, and painful, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent infection. If the redness and swelling persist after 7 days, it may be necessary to remove the piercing to allow the area to heal properly.
