  • take out the piercing. If the antibiotics are not prescribed for this stop taking them and go to the doctor. It sounds like staph infection and penicillin does not work for staph. You need bactrim.(if it is in fact staph). NEVER take leftover abx. it causes drug resistance in microorganisms
  • Yes, if you haven't yet been to a doctor you need to go. Take out the piercing - it's not going to help anything - and cleanse the exposed tissue as well as possible. And make sure to see a doctor.
  • Yes, doctor, now. If you have anything other than implant grade metal in it, have a doctor insert something else to let the wound drain, because cheap jewelry will only cause more harm at this point. Infected cartilage is VERY serious, and you need to get this taken care of right away.
