This is probably the most frequently covered topic in AskBME. There are countless similar questions that have been answered by myself and my fellow panel members. A quick search will bring it all up again. So to recap.. remove the jewellery totally, advise your friend to do twice daily seasalt soaks and not to attempt to put any jewellery in the piercings until they have completely recovered and then to start again at whatever size easily slides in. Slap your friend upside their head for using substandard jewellery and advise using something like PTFE, good quality steel or titanium and NOT silicone or organics and tell them to do a quick bit of research into how to stretch correctly and safely to achieve good, healthy results.
