If you have one that's sore...use some natural sea salt (non iodized) dissolved in warm water. Soak your ear (with an over saturated cotton ball hold a shot glass under ear) for 10 min or so. It's great to promote healing and keeping them clean. Real piercers recommend using the salt water over anything else to speed healing.
DO NOT TOUCH the earring with your fingers till healed. Use a piece of kleenex to turn the earring. Your fingers are huge germ carriers even if you wash them!!!
I've got several piercings and use the salt water all the time... even if they get irritated from something. My dermal piercing likes to flare up on occasion so I just tip a shot glass of salt water over it and let it soak. It will help get rid of the tingly itchy feeling and, helps with any infection and pain.
If it gets super red, and puffy, she may need to see a dr and take it out.
