No matter what DO NOT REMOVE THE JEWELERY, doing so can possibly lead to the infection getting caught inside the body as the hole closes. What is advised is that you wash your hands thoroughly before handling the pierced area. Afterward use sea salt with warm water to clean and soak the area. Do not use peroxide or rubbing alcohol (methylated spirit) to clean the piercing as it dries out the skin, also avoid touching it unnecessarily. If things get unbearable, see the doctor.

Belly button piercing bar or ring?
Ultimately the less material sticking out of the piercing the better. See in the early days of navel piercing, they were all done with rings however this meant the piercing could be irritated by the excessive amount of material exiting from the piercing. Now with the advent of purpose designed body jewellery a properly sized and fitted navel gem means the piercing has less material that can snag or hang up on clothing. This allows the piercing to heal without the irritation seen in ring navel piercings. The navel should be visualized as a nest, the navel gem "gem" should be considered as the egg in the nest and should be centered to hang in the middle of the navel. The object is to draw attention to the whole package not just the gem but the navel and waist line as a complete package. The object is to highlight the figure of the client, this is where an experienced eye and the knowledgeable skill of a professional body piercer comes into play.
If your navel ring fell out and you had it for a month how long will it take before it closes?
Every person is different. A month is not long at all, and especially since it's a navel piercing, it will start to knit shut immediately. You could probably still get the jewelry in (after an hour or a few hours), but you'd be causing damage and asking for an infection.
Can you still keep your navel piercing ring in even if its infected and its bein treated?

Make sure you have the original jewellery in the piercing and leave it in until your situation has improved.

Yes, and they recomend you not to cause the eyebrow ring may sink into your naval. they recomend you to use belly button rings instead.
Can you wear a waterproof patch over your belly ring to stop infection?
Well not if you want the piercing to heal. See you need to have air circulation in the navel, which by chance is always warm and moist. Sealing the navel up with a Tagiderm bandage is just going to create a wet environment that bacteria loves to live in. Just clean the piercing and leave it alone and keep you dirty hands off it and it should heal up just fine.
Why does your navel piercing get infected every time you change your ring?
Body piercings aren't meant to be. Your body probably isn't agreeing with what you're doing to it.
