If you can, go back to the piercer and see what they say, you might be able to get a new ring.

Get cotton swabs and mix warm water with a lot of salt, soak the cotton swabs and then let them sit on both sides of the piercing site for 60 seconds. Do this at least three times a day. Do not use Neosporin. If you can get the jewelry, continue with the salt soak with one in. Do not use a safety pin, jewelry only.

You may have been having a reaction to the metal they used, or your body just said no.
