According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is advisable to have a child pierced at the age of 2 years, because at this time the child has already received complete vaccinations.

After being pierced, usually the little one feels uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important to do home care to reduce the pain after being pierced and to help the piercing wounds heal quickly. How to do it? According to Dr. Arina Heidyana from Klikdokter.com, after being pierced, it is important to clean the earrings once or twice a week.

The way to do it is by slowly removing the earring from the child's ear, then clean it with alcohol or disinfectant solution. You can also use cotton or a cotton bud as a tool to clean it.

"Always Check the Cleanliness of Your Child's Ears"

Make sure to also check the cleanliness of the little one's ears. Clean the baby's ears regularly. Use special baby soap or antibacterial soap applied to a cotton bud.

With the cotton bud, clean the pierced part of the ear. After that, rinse with clean water and dry it with a soft towel until completely dry. Do this routine habit, so that the baby's ear will not get infected.
