You have an abscess in your upper gumline you belioeve it is empacted sinuses your teeth DO NOT hurt you need a home remediy or is it safe to apply a needle and drain it yourself?
My opinion is that it is not safe to use a needle yourself, you could cause an infection and then you really would be in pain. Try warm rinsing your mouth with warm salt water. It is amazing how healing that can be. It could "pop" this just by rinsing with the warm salt water. Continue rinsing several times a day before and after it has popped. Warm salt water like this is very healing in the mouth....just dont swallow it.

How do you keep the swelling down after a tongue piercing?
To reduce swelling while your fresh tongue piercing is healing, a combo of techniques should be employed. Sucking on ice can be a huge help by itself. Combine this with an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen will keep discomfort to a minimum. Also, to prevent irritation, water down your Listerine to half water, half mouth wash. Pure Listerine is much too strong for a fresh wound and can cause irritation and delay healing. Also, make sure to rinse your mouth out with cool water after drinking anything with sugar in it, or snacking.
