What you actually want to be using is liquid antibacterial soap and water and wash the piercing twice a day for the first day then every day there after for a week (7) days. Flushing the piercing with warm running water daily after cleaning to ensure you get all the soap out of the piercing. Stop using whatever you were using for cleaning, just soap and water. This should turn an infected navel piercing around in 24 to 48 hours.
Things you don't use on your piercing: Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sea salt, Salt, Betadine, Polysporin, Neosporin, Bactine, Pierced Ears Solution, Contact Lens solution, Aspirin, Epsom Salts, Dragon Mist.
You need to flush the irritant out of the piercing and it won't heal if you keep putting the above items on the piercing. Liquid antibacterial soap, diluted with a little water as you lather it up will work the best to clean and disinfect the piercing.

Can your belly button get a infection from the inside without a piercing?

Can a belly button get infected?
Belly button rings can cause infection very easily if not cleaned at least once a day. The best way to prevent an infection is to clean it with antibacterial soap, such as Dial, once or twice a day. Applying alcohol or peroxide can dry the skin out and help with infection, so do not use those. Do not use lotions around the belly button as this can cause a moist environment for bacteria to set in and cause infection. The last thing able to prevent an infection is to not touch the piercing until the belly button is healed. Bothering it before then can easily move germs back and forth between the ring and wound, so leave it to set before taking it out.
