Need help tongue piercing

I got my tongue pierced on friday aug 8th it didn't hurt and I had no swelling until the next day and it is still swollen but my more concern is the tip of my tongue feels like I burnt it and no I didn't burn it due to I can't eat anything and I have just been drinking cold drinks to help with swelling and I have like a knott on both sides of the barbell. I just have pain and its uncomfortable I am almost to the point to just take it out myself I am concerned it may be infected please please help

go to the tattoo/piercing shop you got it done at, have them take a look at it, they are professionals.

Don't Take It Out unless your really sure it's infected.
I got mine pierced in January and the same things happened to me... after about 2 weeks you'll start to love it.

I dont think you have an infection. I have had my tounge pierced since april 27 2008 and I thought I was gunna die after I got it done and I thought I would of had to taken it out but its just the suffering you have to do for it. it will go down the swelling and you will be able to eat again. and once you get use to it you will never remember how you ate before you had it. just suck on ice cubes thats what I did, but do not chew them it can cause problems. and make sure you use your mouth wash every time you eat or smoke or anything. but you should be fine and those bumps will go away in time. you just have to give it time

lol I peirced my own toung twice first time got a really bad infection it was swollen so bad I couldent close my mouth lol now its cool

I don't think it's infected. Just suck on a lot of ice, slushies, freezing cold water. Or buy some 'Colgate Peroxyl Antiseptic Oral Cleanser' it works wonders !

Thank you all for your help and advice I was told to take ibprofen every 4 hours to help with the swelling as well and it feels a little better but now I see like white stringy stuff on the top of my tongue not sure what it is anyone have any ideas???

never take out any piercing cause it's infected that will close the infection inside of the hole.
