EAR PIERCING FOR KIDS

While it’s very common in India among girls and boys to get their ears pierced, It’s crucial to make sure the procedure is done safely, with sterile equipment, and that you know how to properly care for the new piercings at home. To avoid infections, follow these ear piercing safety tips from Dr Narjohan.

• ➼ Avoid newborn piercings : We tell parents to wait until the child is at least three months old before getting ears pierced.
• ➼ Choose the right metals : Hypoallergenic materials such as sterling silver or 14- or 18- or24-karat gold.
• ➼ Avoid touching the new piercings
• ➼ Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, lakes, and beaches while your piercings are healing because this could increase the risk of infection.
• ➼ Do not remove or change the earrings for at least six weeks.
• ➼ If you notice, pain, redness, pus or swelling that lasts longer than 24 hours post piercing,contact us for treatment.
