Didn't they tell you at the place where you got your piercing ? SEE A DOCTOR.
Generally seeing a doctor should not be the first step when dealing with an infected piercing. If your piercing is hot to the touch, swollen, oozing, seeping, or otherwise distasteful it may be infected. Leave the jewellery in as it allows fluid to drain and prevents the formation of an abscess. Clean your piercing twice daily (not including showering) with your chosen method of piercing care - an excellent method is to use a sea salt soak - add half a teaspoon of sea salt to a cup of boiling water and allow it to cool to warm, apply this to your piercing for a few minutes twice a day. Apart from that try to touch it as little as possible and always wash your hands before touching it.
If this does nothing to help after a few days or your piercing starts to look in any way truly alarming then yes, please see a doctor.
