Q: Alrighty so i just got my tongue pierced about 4pm today. And it hurt very much but i have my belly,nose,and a bunch in my ears. I wanted to know if i should be expecting anything? I know its gunna swell,because its starting to right now. But for how long? and i cant eat anything.When will i be able to? Any tricks you can tell me so it wont hurt as much? or swell as much?(it doesnt realy hurt THAT bad, but a little) So, any ideas or anything?

Thank you soo much!

Take Ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling, and eat foods that won't irritate your tongue - such as soup or applesauce. Your tongue may be swolen up to 10 days; but then you should be able to get on with your life. Here is a website that will help you fantastically with your piercing.
