Chances are really good that you are, eating, drinking, smoking and or using the wrong product for cleaning and caring for your lip piercing. Foods, beverages and some cleaning products can infact cause swelling of body piercings, this varies from person to person. What works for one person may not work for you. Over cleaning can also lead to swelling, your body needs to "do it's thing" in order to heal a piercing, over cleaning can actually irritate tissue that is trying to heal and promote swelling. Phone your Piercer or better yet go down and see him/her and be truthful when you talk to them, we can see through the lines of misinformation. If your piercer is good they will spend the time to help you out and fix what ever is wrong with the aftercare routeen. Good Luck

How long after a tongue pierced can you have a beer?

I got my tongue pierced over a week ago and my friend got her's a year before me. She drank on the third night after her piercing, and the swelling on her tongue went down. I also did the same, and swelling also went down. Just be careful, cause when you drink beer that early after piercing it, the tongue will tingle from the carbonation. My tongue ring is almost completely healed now.
