When I had this happen, I used a bandaid to tape two cotton balls soaked in hydrogen peroxide on either side of the earlobe overnight. By morning it was better. Then I used Neosporin for a couple days and everything was fine. The only problemwith the hydrogen peroxide is that it makes that bubbling sound in your ear all night long but it's worth it.
To cure an infected earring hole, begin by removing the earring to prevent further irritation. Clean the area gently with a saline solution or a mixture of warm water and mild soap, avoiding alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, which can be too harsh. Apply an over-the-counter antiseptic or antibiotic ointment and keep the area dry. If the infection persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further advice.
I learned infections can get very bad have puss. If it ever does get that bad clean it right away and then remove the earring. Use peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean the earring and the surrounding area several times daily. If you have a hoop-type earring, this is easily done by rotating the earring. Go to the doctor if it gets worse in a day or two. If it is also bloated and red it is defiantly infected.

No. But you should clean your jewellery on a regular basis.
go to a doctor.
No because you need to be able to get it out or else it will get infected and need to be surgically removed.
It is unlikely that an ear piercing hole will close up immediately if the earring is removed, as the body needs time to begin the healing process. However, if the earring is removed soon after piercing, there is a possibility that the hole may start to close up.
