Wear only steel or titanium in it. Go to the doctor's to get antibiotics to help clear it up. Clean it with a mixture of natural sea salt and water- pinch of sea salt into shotglass of warm water. Do that 2-3 times a day for 5 mins. Don't use alcohol or peroxide. If you don't have salt yet, use soap only once or twice a day until you can go out and get salt. Soap may be too drying/irritating. Avoid touching and playing with your ear.

Remove the earring, clean it and clean the hole in your ear, replace the earring back into your ear. Try and use jewelry cleaner for the earrings and rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes for your ears. You can use rubbing alcohol to clean your earrings as well if you do not have jewelry cleaner. Do this once a day for a few days and it should heal the infection.


What causes pus to come out of the ear?

Pus coming out of the ears could be a sign that the eardrum has ruptured due to extreme pressure from an infection, usually from an infection called otitis media, or inflammation/infection of the middle ear. Continued infection could permanently damage hearing due to tissue destruction and/or scarring. The best thing to do is to have a health professional evaluate and see if antibiotics or ear drops, or both, are needed to help it heal properly.Other infections of the ear canal can create drainage, and need to be treated before they spread. The ear is an easy place to get an infection called cellulitis, so it shouldn't be ignored, either.
