The one prescribed by a licensed physician.

You could try Bacitracin or Neosporin if you can't get to the doctor, but that's a pretty sensitive spot for a piercing and hard to keep clean. If the inflammation doesn't go down in a couple days you really need professional hep.

Can you get your lip pierced if you have infected gums?

You can but you absolutely shouldn't. Your body is already working overtime trying to get rid of the infection and it wouldn't be able to handle a new piercing. The infection could get worse and the piercing would take longer to heal. A real professional body piercer wouldn't do any form of piercing lip or otherwise if you are fighting and infection. A gum infection is due to poor oral care, the chances of a secondary infection setting into the new piercing is very high. Get your infection under control and healed then consider a piercing once your dentist and doctor say it's safe to proceed.


Will amoxicillin heal a lip ring infection?

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, if there is and infection it will fight the infection however it won't fix the piercing. The piercing became infected because you failed to keep the piercing clean, and the infection set in and is doing it's damage to the tissue. You need to clean the piercing daily, every day without fail to allow the body to heal. Using simple diluted antibacterial liquid soap and water in the shower daily would have helped to avoided an infection. Regardless of what antibiotics you take you need to clean the piercing daily, only then will the body be able to clear out the damaged cells and matter and start repairing the damaged tissue. Then once the healing starts, daily rinsing will keep the piercing healthy and happy.
