is this normal during healing?

I got my lip piercing on April 10th 2026, I’m wondering if this is just scaring or something to be nervous about. It had fallen out a week ago due to the ball coming off so I went to my piercer and had them put a new one in, pretty sure they downsized it but not sure. (I had lost the ball when it fell out). I know you want to wait 6 weeks typically before changing it so maybe that’s what’s up? But I’m not sure. Any advice/help is great! (The gage is 14, I clean with sterile Saline piercing wash and use a q-tip to remove any crustys once in the morning and once in the evening. I also wash my mouth out after I eat with water).
