Hello,
There can be two causes --
Allergic reaction to some material of jewellary , try to put gold jewellary it causes least reaction.
Secondly there could be some infection , you need to take antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines and anti inflammatory enzymes to decrease the swelling.
Consult an ENT specialist and get treatment.
In doubt do reply.
