I had one piercing in each ear when I was younger, and we took my goddaughter to ger heres done... she was so scared that I went first to show her how *painless* it was! so nowI have two in each ear, but never wear anything in the second holes because everythime I do, they get infected
Wear only earrings with gold posts in the second hole - if there's an Earring Tree near you (I used to work at one) you can get earrings that have gold covering the posts, but the rest is made of less expensive metals, called "Simply Whispers."

A third alternative is coating the posts with clear nail polish - that works for some people.
