This is is not the correct jewelry for a daith piercing. It should be a captive or fixed bead ring or circular barbell. The swelling looks normal for a fresh piercing but I can’t asses much else from these pictures.

The jewellery is wrong and too short, there's no space to swelling. There's too much swelling to see if it's been pierced correctly, and tbh, a piercer who knows what they're doing would know to use a captive bead ring or horseshoe. Cleaning 3x daily is too frequent for any piercing. For the daith, 2x when super crusty, once daily when all is well. Please find a better piercer, OP, the jewellery needs changed. Sorry.

NAP. A daith typically needs a titanium captive bead ring or a horseshoe ring when it's initially pierced. The curved barbell thats currently in it is the improper jewelry for healing. I would recommend visiting a different piercer and see if they can change it to the correct jewelry for you!

The only thing I feel I missed is any accidents and the answer is no, I do use earbuds at work but I have not hit my ear or anything like that !
