Enlarged ear piercing can not be closed by any medications. It needs to be sutures back using small stitches by doing a procedure known as lobuloplasty. Usually this procedure is done under local anesthesia
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
