Hello I'm Dr Nikita Iyer. The swelling looks infected in the photo. If there is no pain, local rise in temperature or redness that is a good sign meaning it isn't an acute infection.
Next Steps
Get an ent evaluation to assess for keloid formation and for medications if needed.
Health Tips
Do not get a repeat piercing in the same area.
Keep the area dry and clean.
