Plain Talker Posted May 28, 2010 Share 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 Posted May 28, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachfivec Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 no this is not normal your tongue will probably be three times its normal size by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesogt Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If it doesn't swell overnight and block your air way fully then just call the doctor in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 If you are still worried. Phone NHS direct or go to drop in centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

KenH Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 It isn't "normal" to have someone poke metal through your tongue voluntarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
