Ear cartilage piercing infection
I had my double  cartilage ear piercing (helix piercing) , after 14 -15 days piercing has become infected , and I got little fever for 3 days. After consulting derma , and taking amoxicillin , I am not having fever anymore but pus is still not getting finished  even after taking 625 cv60 amoxicillin twice a day for 5 days. Which specialist I should consult for the issue, and is it something I should be worried about? PS- I DON'T HAVE ANY REDNESS AND ONLY MILD SWELLING , but whenever I clean the area it's lot of pain. I am currently applying hot compression of turmeric and mustard oil.
