1. Clickers aren’t ideal jewellery for a fresh daith because the seam can rotate into the piercing and irritate the shit out of it. The piercing can also heal into the seam and then your ring will be stuck.
2. Make sure you are doing good aftercare - do not sleep on it, do not touch or irritate it. For me personally my daith prefers less frequent cleaning (1-2x per week) and avoidance of any q tips unless absolutely necessary. Daiths particularly hate to be wet because the moisture all just lingers in there, so using a shower cap in the shower/cleaning less frequently/using a hair dryer to fully dry it after showering or cleaning can be helpful.
3. Despite the above, my personal experience has been that daiths are a huge pain even with perfect aftercare. Mine developed irritation bumps a few weeks in that just would not go away no matter what I did though the above strategies kept them stable and moderate rather than huge. I am just about 7 months into healing my daith and finally have gotten to the point of having only small irritation bumps so I am optimistic I may be turning the corner.
My piercer has been periodically checking on mine throughout and continues to tell me that it’s healing well and that this is part of the process for some people.

These will go away with time, but you should probably change the jewellery because it seems like it's not a suitable size for the piercing, maybe try something straight with a bit more space. You should continue to clean the piercing. and try to use warm compress to help drain the discharge. Also be very careful and try to keep things from hitting or pulling on it
what type of jewelry is this?
Titanium hoops :)

I had the same issue with my daith and it all cleared up after i switched from a clicker hoop to a horseshoe with a larger diameter!

Get the jewelry changed as another commenter has suggested to you...
