I Recently Got A Tragus Piercing 4 Days Ago. Last

I recently got a tragus piercing 4 days ago. Last night I had trouble swallowing (still do). No pain in ear, just tender on left side. I'm scared that a facial nerve has been hit (Ball's palsy). Left side is kind of numb. Am I overreacting? Could this just be normal?
