Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Nipple piercing what you have got done could have become infected and causing pain. Kindly do the following to overcome this.1. Take Tablet. Amoxicillin + Clavulenic acid twice a day for 5 days to treat infection. 2. Take Tablet. Ibuprofen + Paracetamol twice a day for 5 days after food to treat pain and inflammation. 3. Apply Ointment. Soframycin cream locally twice daily. Keep the wound clean and away from pressure till it heals. Hope the information provided is clear. Wish you all the best.
