Is it bad to have your tongue pierced while being sick?

Tongue piercings can cause gum/enamel erosion, both of which are irreversible. However, this can be avoided/helped by positioning the piercing correctly and wearing proper jewelry. Its also possible to chip your teeth on the ball- this can be helped by wearing acrylic balls. Of course, there are the same risks that come with any piercing- infection, scarring. So while tongue piercings can cause problems, there are ways to handle said problems, so its just a matter of if you're willing to take care of that and be prepared if you do encounter problems.


What if you get allergic reaction and your tongue is swollen and you got a tongue piercing what do you do?

If your allergic reaction is so bad that oyur tongue swells, go to the ER. Take out your tongue bar. If your tongue keeps swelling it'll swallow the ball and cause more problems. Tongue piercings usually stay open without jewelery for a while.

Can tongue piercings cause nausea if infected alittle?

There is no such thing as "a little infected". It's one or the other but not a little. You need to be on a routine of good oral hygiene and not a little here a little there. If you are getting discharge from the piercing and it's greenish and the tongue is swelling and sore get your butt into the hospital or clinic right now. MRSA is a very hard to fight bacterial infection that can be deadly if left untreated. You don't goof with piercings and piercing health. See your Doctor if you think you have an infection in your tongue piercing.
