What amount of swelling is normal after a tongue piercing?

Home More advice Beauty & Style

I just had my tongue pierced on sunday, it doesn't hurt but my tongue is swollen to a point where there are teeth marks on the sides of it. Is that normal? It doesn't hurt or interfere with breathing and eating.. Oh and I rinse with antiseptic listerine. I suck on ice and drink ice water.. How long should it be swollen for..? Any tips to reduce the swelling? And when can I change the bar?
