Suggest Remedy For Bumps On Ear Lobe

My 4 month had her ears pierced two days ago and now she has tiny bumps around her ear lobes. 14k gold earrings and post are currenly in her ears and I have been using the solution provided to me at the time of the piercing. Please advise if I should wait a few days to see if the tiny bumps will go away in time. Thanks you in advance for your reply.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query, you have a bump on the ear, which is mainly because of keloid formation and infection occurs during ear piercing due to improperly sterilized instruments. Well, this is a very common problem during piercing and need not to panic about it.

You should visit an ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment as per instructions. Maintain hygiene of that area. Take a proper course of antibiotics if it is due to infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
