Painful nose piercing

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi I think i may have changed my nose piercing too soon. Its very very sore and inflamed. It has a raised lump on the outside next to the hole. I also think the ring i have put in is too small. Should i take it out and change it again or leave it alone? Its been in for 4/5 weeks now and ive been cleaning it with salt water. Thank you
