Swollen Ear

I really find the silver earring of my little baby adorable. It makes her more of a lady. The other day when I got home my husband told me that the right ear of Rhaine is swollen. One of our neighbor says it looks like it has a pus. I remember when I was still a kid that my ear gets infection if I am not wearing gold. I am thinking maybe Rhaine's ear is sensitive. My husband put oil on it but still it is reddish and swollen. What I did is I pull the earring which makes her cry out loud. My husband who is in the bathroom that time thought that our baby fall or something. I told him I just pull her earrings out. I noticed some wound scabs on the earrings and on the lock. I guess it was really painful because for several minutes she was crying. I cradle her, took her out of the house, try to play with her, sing her a song and she wouldn't stop crying. After several minutes of crying I give her milk even if its not yet time and that makes her calm down. Yesterday I check his ear and it is no longer swollen but I couldn't see the hole. I would like to put her earrings back but I am afraid that it might swell again.

I read online that it is not good to put earring on infants since they are more prone to infection and also they have a tendency of pulling their ears. It is better to have ear piercing if your kid is old enough and decided to have it. I cannot wait that long, and I wanted to make her prettier. Maybe later when I get home I will check her ears and try put back her earrings. (Makulit na mommy).
