How are earrings bad for children?
Earrings can be bad for children for many reasons. For one, some people are allergic to the metal used for earrings. Depending on the severity of the allergy, minor irritation or even death can occur as a result of earrings. Another reason is that children may not be able to correctly care for their ears once their ears are pierced. Neglect to properly clean the ears after a piercing can lead to infection, pain, and the closing of the earring holes. What can also cause pain and closing of the earring holes is a lack of wearing them. If your child does not like to wear the earrings very much, then the holes will close and the next time your child puts in an earring it will be painful and difficult. Yet another reason is that your child may not want earrings, especially if you decide to pierce your baby's ears. When your child starts to make their own fashion choices, they may hate their earrings and be embarrassed by them. If you want your child to get their ears pierced, please consider the above.
What do you do when pus comes out of your pierced ears?
You take out the earrings - they're probably made of cheap metal that caused you to have an infection! Sterilize the holes by squeezing alcohol through it with a cotton ball, and if it doesn't clear up, see your doctor. You'll have to leave the earrings out until the infection heals, though, because otherwise it will just irritate the infected area more.
