Why does my helix piercing randomly looks like its about to 'swallow' my jewelry?

I got my helix piercing eleven weeks ago. It was doing perfectly fine until about 2 days ago. Until then, it didn%26#039;t even hurt or anything. Well yes, I got it done with a gun.. stupid I know. But yeah, what%26#039;s done is done. Anyways, now its suddenly really swollen and hurts to lay on. Its very swollen and looks as if its about to swallow my piercing! Anybody with any advice would be nice :)
