Depends on how old it is. If you've never had it changed by a pro before though, its a good idea. They can easure and fit you with the right bar. If you use one thats too long, it can make gum/enamel erosion even worse and youre more likely to bite it. If its too short, it can cause swelling or other problems. If its not 2-3 months old yet, definitely go have a pro switch it out :)

Can you die from a tongue piercing?
Yes you can unfortunately their are veins in the tongue and if the piercing is not done properly it can "nick" one of these veins and you could die.
Has anybody died from piercing their own tongue?
Honestly, I haven't heard of any cases like that but there could be something out there. But even if no one has died, it doesnt make it any less dangerous. Piercing the tongue is tricky because there are some pretty large veins in that area. There have been quite a few cases of people getting tongue piercings by someone with little experience and losing significant amounts of blood- to the point that they need transfusions. Also, piercing yourself significantly raises the risk of infection. If your piercing does get infected and you dont treat it in time, the infection could spread and end up in your bloodstream- thats called sepsis. Sepsis is incredibly dangerous and can be deadly. Bottom line- piercing yourself is not safe, especially not with a tongue piercing.

Ive done my tongue piercing couple of days ago its not swollen but my gums at the bottom hurt why will the pain go away?
It's probably because of the long bar in your tongue. Long bars are necessary because they allow your newly-pierced tongue to swell without swallowing the jewelry. If its really painful, go to your piercer after the swelling goes down to get a shorter bar. Or you could just wait till it fully heals and change it yourself.
