Tongue piercing emergency! trishawbu: So i got my tongue pierced about 2 weeks ago? Anyways I got it changed to a shorter barbell on Monday It was so tight around my tongue it hurt like hell I couldn't even lift my tongue up Now I changed the beads to smaller ones and it's alright for most of the time But then sometimes the pain catches me by suprise and it's so painful it makes me want to cry When that happens i have to tense my tongue and clean it around until puss/white blood cells (not sure which one) won't come out anymore I feel like i have a marble stuck in my tongue And when I try to put my piercing back in after cleaning it out and soaking it in antibacterial mouthwash once a day when I hit a bad spot it feels like i have something in there Please help i'm really scared and currently in pain fs xX_Hate_Me_Now_Xx: is the swelling all the way down? using surgical steel? eating fine, does it catch alot? and you might also want to get sea salt spray. lishous: shouldnt have changed the barbell for at least 4 weeks. put the original back in and use sea salt to rinse or any alcohol free mouth wash. wait 4 more weeks before changing it out. vergessene_xo: Yeah the worst thing you can do for a fresh piercing is to not take it out so soon or continuously take it out and put it back. I know a few piercings and they recommend H2Ocean spray and it has been working fine for my piercings this far. Also be careful, know the symptoms of the piercing rejecting. | hobbies Chat Room Similar Conversations |
