acid
i got my tongue pierced saturday night & now it's wednesday. it's still kinda swollen and sore, but i've noticed when i drink orange juice it burns sooo bad! is it because my tongue is still healing and i guess the acid from the oranges is bothering it? the guy said stay away from spicy foods for a while, but he didn't say anything about juice. will this go away soon?

Its definitely because of the acid. Any other citrus frui8ts would probably burn as well, like lemons and such. Once your piercing heals a little more it won't burn as much and eventually it will go away completely. Definitely avoid spicy foods also, and probably salt. That's what I did anyways. Hope this helped :)

It's the citric acid in the orange juice getting to the still raw wound. It's the same stuff that makes lemons hurt too.
Avoid citrus until it heals up, along with spicy food and massive amounts of salt. You'll be fine in like another week and a half.
