How long is it normal to be sore after earlobe piercing?

Anonymous
i got my earlobe pierced on Thursday. no cartilage, just the lobe, but I have another stud in my lobe from before.

i went to a reliable place and the lady cleaned the materials and earring. it is a 10k gold earring.

right after I got it pierced my ear was sore, and I know that is normal. but it is still sore 4 days later and a little red around the new earring. the soreness might be slightly worse than the first day and it is not going away.

i have been cleaning with the solution and turning the earring as I was directed to, but it just hurts. last time I got a piercing it did not turn red and it did not hurt after 4 days. I am starting to get concerned.

should I take it out? I know the hole will close up but I don't really care. it wasn't expensive and my place will re pierce the hole for a lower price if it closes as long as you bring your receipt and original earring.
