Bhairavi replied. I am very glad that Trisha's ear piercing went well. I am sure she must be looking very pretty.. In my case, dr didnt give me any antiseptic lotn. All I do is clean the area couple of times with rubbing alcohol and turn the earring. Before doing this I make sure my hands are properly washed. Other than this, I take precaution that water, or tears dont go near that area. You know, I had bought this shower hat from India, which is really helpful in giving Nikku headbaths. Also, personally I feel not to apply oil there, as the wound is very fresh.. But again, its my personal opinion. I hope the healing process goes smoothly for Nikku as well for Trisha.. hope this helps..
Chalo yaar, bye 4 now,

1. head bath is ok
2. Keep pierced area dry
3. Be little careful when drying her hair and dressing her up

I am sure ur daughter must be looking cutie pie with earrings.

We got my D’s ear pierced 6 weeks back , applied antiseptic lotion twice a day and she did not have any problem.

Please use that lotion twice a day and rotate earring twice. You can clean the pierced area with ear buds.
Please do not apply oil because oil keeps skin moist for longer and coz of sweat and little dust, ... bacteria can grow there very easily. Antiseptic lotion will not allow growing bacteria. If you feel pierced area is red or swollen , contact pediatrician ....that wont happen though :-)

VIMP - Please do not forget to take a snap of cutie pie with earrings.

Enjoy.
Suchie.
