Hello! I got my rook done about two weeks ago and for the first week and a half the healing was going really well! It was just slightly sore if I would accidentally touched it but for the most part I would even forget it was there. I went on this last Friday and got a bit drunk (so I don't really recall what exactly happened) but when I woke up my rook was so sore and swollen. I think I might have slept on it funny or put pressure on it all night! I know I'm not allergic to the metal and my body has never reacted this this with any other of my cartilage piercings.Without any swelling the cartilage where a rook piercing would be on both my ears are fairly thin. Here are some pics for comparison imgur.com/a/SuUAh#hXuXXjk
I've been not touching it at all other than cleaning it daily with sea salt and letting it soak in a warm sea salt solution but the swelling has not really gone down and it's still very sore warmly throbbing.Is there anything else I can do other than wait it out and continue with the soaks? :(
