Ok well..it sounds like your ears are infected. Best thing to do is about twice or three times a day take the earrings out and soak them in rubbing alcohol then take the rubbing alcohol and rub it on both sides of your earlobes. Then put the earrings back in. You can also put bacitracin on the earring. The infection should clear up in about a week.

Yes, it is infected! Eew!!! The best thing you can do is to put some antibacterial stuff on your ear, like the antibacterial stuff they gave you to just clean it off. Then put something like Neosporin to disinfect it (again) and help ease the pain. Keep cleaning it!!!
If it doesn't get better within a few days and it REALLY hurts, go see a doctor. They always know what to do!

clean it with peroxide and hope its not infected.
EDIT* DON'T USE ALCOHOL. PEROXIDE BUBBLES THE INFECTION OUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD PEOPLE. Alcohol will burn peroxide won't.
