10g-8g tear? Please help!?

ok so I was at 10g over 3 months...and the stretch was looking really healthy the whole time. I had then purchased 8g. Well, then I went home, lubed up the taper and stretched to 8g well come to noticed around two weeks later, I have a blow out on my left ear, I think. So what do I now? Isnt two weeks a little to late when I havent took any action to help it? I dont know what to do. Wait 3 months to stretch to 6g both my ears and hope it goes away? OR downsize my left and hope for the best? Its been two or three weeks since I first stretched them so.... ????
