There's not much you can do to alleviate the pain of a freshly pierced belly button. The pain should wear off in a few days. If it's an old piercing that's hurting then it's probably infected. Don't leave an infection untreated as in severe cases that can result paralyses of your legs.

Does your belly button get closed when your pregnant?
When you get pregnant, most care providers recommend removing your belly button ring. Even women who don't remove their rings report that belly button rings itch and pull as the belly stretches around the fifth or sixth month. There is also the risk of infection if the belly button ring scratches you or opens a small wound. If you do take out your belly button ring, the piercing hole will probably close, requiring you to re-pierce your belly button after having your baby. However, if you don't want to take out your belly button ring you may want to purchase a non-metal pregnancy piercing ring. These are flexible and two inches long to accommodate your growing belly. Pregnant women claim that this product allows them to keep their bellies pierced without the discomfort of other belly button piercing.

What if your belly button piercing smells?
It is normal for a piercing to smell. What is happening is that your piercing is healing from the inside out, and you are just smelling the normal discharge that is associated with it. Your best bet is to talk to a piercer to confirm if there is any infections or not. Keep in mind that it is best to leave your piercing alone, and if you do touch it, make sure your hands are clean. This helps reduce the risk of infection.

Can you change your belly ring if you just got the piercing one week before?
No you cannot, at least not just yet. Changing your belly button ring, or for that matter any other kind of body jewelry, just one week after getting a new piercing is a surefire recipe for disaster. In such short a time, there is no way that your piercing would have healed enough to enable you to change your belly ring. And if you do try it, you could very well cause your piercing to close, as at such an initial stage, a piercing can close even if left without jewelry for a few minutes. Although belly button piercings take differing lengths of time for healing in different people, it is safe for all to assume that for at least the first six months, your piercing will not have healed properly. Some people may even take up to a couple of years to have their belly piercing heal fully. But that in no way means that you have to wait for a full 2 years to change your nipple ring. Once the initial healing period has passed (about 6 months) you can proceed to change your belly ring. However, as the piercing in all likelihood will not have healed fully, it is best not to keep it free of belly rings for any length of time.
