Well when the piercing is red, swollen, discharging green puss, painful and warm to the touch, guess what, "it's infected". See your doctor.

If your piercings are red, discharging clear fluid, the piercing appears to be enlarged* (*the jewellery looks like it's floating in space in the piercing), then this is s sign of an allergic reaction, generally due to either the material the piercing was done with or the solution you are using to clean the piercing. Cease using whatever you are using to clean the piercing and see your doctor.

If the piercing appears to be normal skin tone and it's discharging clear fluid with no pain or swelling, guess what, your saliva ducts in your cheeks have been cut by the piercing and you need to see a doctor to have the piercing cauterized closed.
