Brief Answer:
Ear Piercing

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for your question. You are doing everything correctly. The only thing I would add is an antibiotic ointment applied 2-3 times per day. It can be Bacitracin, Neosporin, or any other over the counter antibiotic ointment. If you do not notice ant improvement after 3-4 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
