Rinse your mouth with salt water or mouthwash and see your doctor.
Well, that depends on what it's doing and why do you feel it's infected...
First I would not have recommended you take out the jewelry..If it is infected it easier to heal with the jewelry in, rather than out...If you take the jewelry out the holes may close but that doesnt mean that the infection goes away, now it becomes an abcess, thusly harder to heal....Not knowing who did it, how it was done, or what happened really makes it hard to tell you how to take care of it.....Use 1/4 teaspoon of seasalt not table salt and mix it in 8oz's of warm water and rinse with this mixture 4 times a day. Hope this helps............

∙ 14y agoThere is no such thing as a slight infection in a tongue piercing or any piercing for that matter. It's infected or it's not. If it's infected you need to get on a good oral rinse like Original Listerine and clean it out. I would recommend you remove the barbell and give it a good brushing with toothpaste and your tooth brush. If the swelling comes back get on the cold stuff and see your doctor asap.

∙ 10y agoA tongue piercing heals very quickly as long as you take a few steps to aid the process. The first thing to be aware of is that the tongue swells a lot for the first few days, so make sure you are pierced with jewelry to accommodate for swelling. Be sure to rinse your mouth with Listerine or Gly-Oxide after every meal or drink. Also, you want to keep your mouth as germ free as possible; pretty hard since your mouth is full of germs! Not smoking, kissing or putting anything dirty in your mouth is crucial during the healing process.

Tongue is getting infected from getting it pierced?
Well unless you did the piercing yourself, the chances your tongue is getting infected from it being done by a professional body piercer working in a licensed and inspected shop is slim to nil. The only way a professionally done piercing will get infected is through client abuse or neglect, failure to maintain correct aftercare and personal hygiene is the only means that will cause an infection. So if you ignore your piercing, fail to keep it clean and fail to follow your written aftercare instructions, yes you will wind up with and infection. But you will never wind up with an infection from a professionally performed body piercing.

Is it bad if your tongue is yellow after getting it pierced?
Its infected... you have to keep moveing it constantly and clean it to avoid this. if its already happened take it out and go see a doctor asap, or say bybye tastebuds. Yellow coloring in the tongue can be an indication that you are overusing mouthwash. Make sure you are using non-alcoholic mouthwash to avoid chemical burning of the tongue, and only rinse after each meal. Yellow DISCHARGE coming from the piercing can be a sign of infection, but not usually a yellow film on the tongue.

How do you keep from getting food in a new lip piercing?
A friend of mine got a tongue piercing at a professional and asked the same question. He said to wait about an hour or two and while you wait keep the ring in your piercing, because if its brand new with no ring in it, it will close faster than one you had for a while . So just wait about an hour or so with a ring in it. Then the pro said if the tongue is bleeding from when you pierced it first still or its swollen or whatever then you have to wait a little while. While you eat, take your piercing out since its new and the flesh of the tongue is still tender and you dont want to stretch it. Chew carefully and slowly . Hope i helped
