A little over a week ago I got my rook pierced. Today my ear is super swollen. No wiggle room to the jewelry. My ear isn't "eating" the jewelry even if it looks that way in the picture. I don't know if i should just take ibuprofen and apply compression while just watching or go to my local piercer and have them look at it and maybe put longer jewelry in. No feeling of pressure. Just swollen, warm, red and painful/tender. Ignore the crust this picture was taken prior to me cleaning it.
