Problem with my cartilage piercing..?
I got my cartilage pierced about 4 weeks ago with a gun. I know, bad idea. But it didnt hurt at all for the last few weeks. I was using rubbing alcohol to clean it then switched to sea salt soaks. Once i started that, my piercing became swollen and it hurts a bit now. I have always had a problem with jewelry that’s not gold. I have 3 other piercings, which all had a problem with the butterfly piercing the gun uses.
My question is, Can i change my cartilage jewelry now to some kind of gold jewelry?
Right now i have a ‘gold plated" one, im not to sure if i should keep it on.
Thank you1
thank you for the answers. i just changed it. i almost threw up. became realllyy dizzy for some reason. i had to sit down and wait untill the dizziness went away. put in a gold hoop. i hope that heals it better. 
Yeah you can switch it. Just make sure the new jewelry is very clean. If you want you should try using saline solution to clean your ear. It works very well but so should the sea salt. When You change them make sure you do it fast. Take it out and put the other one in.

If you don’t have bactine, you should go out and buy some.
it’s fairly inexpensive, & it works very well.
