When will the pain and swelling go away?

I just got my tongue pierced yesterday and it swelled up like a balloon. I was just wondering how long I could expect the pain and swelling to last?

Answer #1

I have mine pierced 2 times… drink lots of ice water and take ib profen.. that will keep the swelling down and help with the pain.. and you can gargle warm salt water to. that really helps also

Answer #2

hey, well it takes a few weeks to heal, sometimes when you look after your tongue really good, it will heal within a few days, if it hurts to much then eat ice chips and drink really cold water! That always helps :)
