Apply ointment to the treated areas as directed. Always wash your hands before touching the earrings, twist them regularly during the healing process, and avoid swimming in lakes, rivers, hot tubs, and pools until your child’s ears fully heal.After healing is complete, switch to another set of earrings if you’d like to.
