Good afternoon ma'am, I think your piercing for infected based on your pus discharge and swelling. It might heal as long as you are avoiding contact with fingers and other things.
Next Steps
Kindly consult an ENT Specialist.
Health Tips
Try to keep it dry immediately after a bath and avoid manipulating it.
