No.! Wth.!? I have my tongue pierced and I have no issues with it..
eat cold things
Cold sores are a variant of the Herpes virus, however getting them from a professionally done tongue piercing, No.
Getting your tongue pierced hurts more. It's going to be sore for longer, make speech slightly slurred, and you may drool on yourself. Eat cold things for a day or two. After being pierced, it may feel warm/hot and the cold feels really good.
Well all piercings that are under a year old will swell when the body is about to catch a cold. This also happens when the body has been subjected to stress, not just physical but mental stress can affect piercings as well.
Sure just be sure to stay on the cold stuff after you are done.
Yes it's not uncommon, just stay on the cold stuff and you will be fine.
no not really. The fact is if you drink cold water
Yes. Its not tobacco. Regardless of it being pot or tobacco you can smoke either after your tongue has been pierced however be sure you have cold water to sip as you are doing so. The residue left on the tongue from both can cause issues with the healing so moderation is a good idea.
Lymph glands can swell when you have sore throat from a cold.
No, it cannot. Well I have the same problem to, I have biting my lip, i have no idea why but now i have a Cold Sore and its not cancer.
my tounge was super swollen and some days be less swollen than others, i find if you eat more spicy foods it will swell abit more but that may just be me.....my tounge was swollen for about 2 weeks and i was super concerned but it healed fine and i have no problems with it now :) Tongue piercings will swell for a minimum of two weeks, this is not unusual. Keep on the cold stuff and watch out for overly spicy food and food that are too hot temperature wise. Swish and swallow cold water after everything you eat or drink that leaves a residue on the tongue. Avoid dairy products for the first five or six days, these products can support bacterial growth so just be sure to rinse with cold water only after eating these products.... You will survive and end up with a good piercing if you look after it correctly.
This can be a sign of a possible infection or up comming cold, I would suggest you talk to your doctor.
