I just got my treagus pierced (that middle knobby thing in your ear) about 3 weeks ago and i just got a really bad ear infection in the same ear as the piercing.
Could the infection be from the earring even if the earring itself dosent look or feel infected?
If im on antibiotics should that kill the infection in my ear and if the piercing is infected that infection too?

Anndddd once i start taking antibiotics how long after i start taking them should i feel better?
