Surgical steel is unlikely to be causing it, but could try switching it out to titanium jewellery instead.
I wouldn't use gold personally, more biologically reactive. Avoid silver as well.
Do they sleep on that side more often? It could be the heat and moisture and irritation from having that side of their head on the pillow. In which case having a pillow against their back while they sleep on the other side for a bit should help.
Salt spray, sparingly, or saline (same shit).
Try not to rotate it, or touch it,
I hate to say this but a lot of jewellery marked hypoallergenic or nickel free or surgical steel or even precious metals are no such thing. So many fakes are coming out China and not just cheap ones either.
Get a pair of earrings from a good jeweller that you can trust.
Well yeah, don't buy them from the pharmacy, go to a piercer with good reviews (not chain stores either).
I don't trust anything but titanium personally
Doctor to look at the piercing , jeweller for earrings. Remember, this is to stop repeated infections.
