Typically a new tongue piercing will discharge for 6 to 8 weeks and then ease off as the fistula* is formed (*fistula is the tube of new tissue that makes up the actual piercing hole). Swelling is at it's height for about 2 weeks (14 days post piercing) then once the swelling has eased it's a very good idea to have the piercing jewellery downsized to avoid dental damage from biting the jewellery. Plastic barbells are not recommended for new piercings and actually can fail due to the swelling leading to swallowing or inhaling the plastic barbell.
A tongue piercing like any piercing is never to be considered fully healed until it's a full year old, you can have a light heal but it takes a full year for the piercing to season up allowing for removal or the jewellery for extended period of time.
