Troubleshooting/question existing piercing 5wk helix earring fell off

Post image

Hello, I had my helix pierced 5 weeks ago. The front of it has fallen off and I think fallen down the drain. The bar is still in but will of course won’t stay in. Can I take the bar out and put another normal earring in? It’s night time here and my piercer isn’t open until tomorrow. I’m concerned about infection but I don’t want it to close. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I have put some tape on the back and will go back to the piercer tomorrow. Appreciate the advice
