How To Treat Infection Caused Due To Fernum Piercing?

I just got a frenum piercing a week ago and it hasnt hurt until today and green discharge is coming out at both ends of the piercing. I have been washing it 3 times a day with dial and soaking it in salt water 3 times a day as well. Is it infected, and if so how can I fix it?

Good day and thanks for your question. Is this the first time you are doing frenum piercing? Normal piercing heals at most 2 weeks and should not discharge. Your piercing is probably infected, maybe from improper hygiene. A test will be done on the discharge and the piercing removed for now. An antibiotics will be prescribed after the tests result is out. But in the meantime you can use Acetaminophen 1g 3 times daily for the pain and Augmentin tablet 875mg 2 times daily. Hope it helps. Thank you.
