Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Redness On Ear Of A Child

My 11 year old daughter has the plastic backing of her earring stuck in her earlobe since Friday night. It is very sore, swollen., red in the back. I have been using Polysporin since Friday night. Last night I tried to put an earring in to try and push plastic backing out but could not get earring through hole.

Hi,
As plastic backing is gone inside ear skin, you can not remove ear ring from front to backward.
It should be removed from back side only.
Consult your doctor, he will remove plastic backing and then ear ring.
She might require few dressing.
Ok and take care.
