HELP ME NOT LOSE AN EAR
Okay, so. Friday night I decided I was going to start to stretch my ears. I cleaned the 14g pinchers I bought and cleaned 'em and shoved 'em on in my ears. Less than 24 hours later? My left ear is swollen up HUGE and pussing and bleeding. The other is too a little, but not this swollen. Seriously, I've never seen an earlobe so swollen. Then this morning? My lymph nodes on my neck on that side started to pulse and be swollen and SO SORE-- I can't even touch them. So I is infected.
I've been cleaning them with the ear sanitizer stuff they give you at Claire's after you get your ears pierced as well as using anitbacterial soap and water, soaking them periodically in sea salt water, and putting neosporin on (because it's the stuff with added pain relief goodness)--plus taking meds for the pain and swelling. I've already taken the jewlery out and now I just want to not die./lose an ear.
Any other suggestions?
