Sounds normal. >3
Your skin is in the stage where it is almost trying to heal on the jewelry so when you smile/talk it moves and it can be quite painful. In a couple of days it should feel better since it will start healing more on the inside instead of the outside, your body is smart.. it knows what to do! XD
Just keep up the soaks, try to talk/smile as little as you can and it'll be fine.
As for the cold.. take vitamin c and load up on some kind of cold medicine so your body can fight off the cold then work on healing the piercing.. your body will still attempt to heal the piercing while you are sick.. but it's going to be more focused on getting over the sickness then healing the piercing. Ah, thanks! I feel very reassured now.
biggrin I'll do my best to heal it.
