Hello, Im 16 and about a week ago I got a piercing in my neck (the front, between collar bones) at a professional tattoo parlor. I had no issues at first, but where the base of my skull meets my neck, and the bottom left of the back of my head is painful and swollen (I've been told there are lymph nodes there) I'm starting to get other swollen glands as well on the sides of my neck (they don't hurt) and as the piercing seems to get more infected the pain worsens. The pain is getting very bad and I've been suffering headaches, and now my heart rate is starting to get really fast which I also heard is a sign of infection. I've been putting warm salt water on the piercing as instructed but I'm not sure if I should wait it out or see a doctor immediately. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Also: I got the twinrex hep. A and B final vaccination the day after, so maybe it's a side effect of that?

Take it out your body is obviously rejecting it nothing to do with your needles......
Sorry but some people aren't meant for piercings not body ones anyway
that very good might be a lymph node!! Those signs are the very similar to the ones u can get even as u have an inside ear contamination besides the lump below th ear, one fast strategy to alleviation the crisis if ear contamination is the purpose, is to take advantage of ur gland, sure i realize it sounds bizarre, however it works. if u comply with ur jaw line again, until it curves up, quit earlier than then, and at the below facet of ur jaw, however toward the external of ur jaw, u'll consider the muscles subsequent to ur throat, the ones are ur saliva glands, simply therapeutic massage them, and each and every minute , paintings up the spit and spit the pollutants out,caution, it could style alternatively putrid, however this will aid, it more often than not is helping me.
