tongue swelling and itchy ears could be a sign of an allergic reaction. usually when i get them my ears run as well. just take some benadryl and talk to your doctor about getting on allergy medication.
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.
Tongue swelling following any medication is an allergic reaction usually requiring emergency intervention. The whole throat is swelling and usually the face appears different; breathing can be impossible without emergency medicine.

It is having an allergic reaction--you can give a dog Benadryl--and take it to the vet before it can't breathe! Like now!

YES, Do not eat it ever again, as the reaction can get worse the next time. The worst case scenario is anaphylactic shock and death.
Tongue piercing done with mismatched metals can cause a reaction called Galvanic Corrosion. This reaction can cause throat swelling, sore throat, irritation of the tissue under the tongue. If these are your issues go and get the barbell changed at another more reputable piercing studio, clearly the last studio used poor quality material.
Sounds like you are not keeping your tongue swelling in check, if your tongue is swelling you need to get on some ice and motor down to your local body piercer and ask about a longer barbell. You should be following the written aftercare instructions you were given, these would detail how to handle swelling and aftercare. For now get some ice on your tongue and then deal with the other points I have made here.
its not so much the swelling that hurts, its the fact you have a bar shoved through your tongue, and it hurts for like a week. the next day is horrible you can move your tongue at all and you talk with a lisp for a week or two
A slight sinking of the tongue ring is normal as the swelling subsides and the tongue adjusts to the jewelry. However, if the sinking is excessive or causing discomfort, it's best to consult with a piercer to ensure proper fit and healing.
