How do you tell if your piercing is infected?

I got my cartilage pierced 2 weeks ago, and today it's gotten really red and very swollen. Maybe it's from irritation, like hitting it, but I'm not sure. How do you tell if it's infected?

My eyebrow keeps getting infected and I got it pierced in Aug.

Cartilidge piercings take awhile to heal. My manfriend has an industrial piercing

and it keeps getting infected. You have to clean it everyday and try to avoid contact with it such as the phone and sleeping on that ear.

The main thing is cleanliness, if it is red and swollen and pussing those are some signs of infection. CLEAN IT. Antibactierial soap
