<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

And yes, I did Google it, but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer on treatment as much as prevention. I did notice they suggested antiseptic ointment, but I'm not sure what that is or if I'm allergic to it. Yes, I will be calling my mother to see if I am allergic to it or not in the morning. I've never had an infection I didn't know how to deal with before, but since I kind of have to keep this bit of metal in my nose (no way is it coming out, I paid too much and got too much crap from my parents about it) I don't know how that changes things.

So how should I treat this? It didn't get bad at all until today. Yes, there is drainage. Yes, it is swollen. Yes, it is tender. I've been cleaning it with the sea salt water like I was told after I got it pierced, but what else can I do to help it along? I'm allergic to ALL topical antibiotics (such as Neosporin and whatnot) so those are out of the question, though I'm not even sure they'd be what I need anyways.

Things that I've tried for other infections have been hot compresses and cleaning it with peroxide. Would you suggest either of those?
<bot>: I'm allergic to some medicines normally used to treat infections, but my nose is infected and I want to take care of it as best I can.
