Plain Talker   11 #4 Posted May 28, 2010 it's infected and is about to drop off... no, seriously, I kid.  if you have any concerns, get yourself to the person best qualified (literally) to advise you about any worries/ problems, - that'd be the doctor!

Bexstars   10 #5 Posted May 28, 2010 yes I would say its normal, mine did that the day after it was pierced and lasted for a few days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jamesogt   11 #7 Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) If it doesn't swell overnight and block your air way fully then just call the doctor in the morning! Edited May 29, 2010 by jamesogt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tongues are usually pretty effective at self-cleaning but with a fresh piercing this isn't possible, if it really bothers you try gently brushing your tongue or just wait for the piercing to heal and normal function will return.

Wardsbitter   10 #11 Posted May 29, 2010 Rileyjay,  I trust you will be ok- as a fellow poster says- any worries check it out with the NHS.  Forgive my curiousity but why did you have it done? Does it feel odd or uncomfortable? Best Wishes , WB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*binty* Â Â 10 #12 Posted May 29, 2010 If i remember correctly (i had mine done 3.5years ago) it does do this but should be ok within a day or two If you are worried though, call NHS. Â Also, keep sucking ice cubes/ice lollies to keep the swelling down - did wonders for mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
