The duration for tongue swelling to subside after taking an antihistamine can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the reaction. Typically, antihistamines can start to take effect within 30 minutes to 2 hours, and swelling may begin to decrease within that timeframe. However, complete resolution can take several hours to days, depending on the underlying cause of the swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical attention.
Swelling from a new tongue piercing typically peaks around 2-3 days after the procedure. It can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to fully subside, depending on individual healing times and aftercare practices. Make sure to follow proper aftercare instructions provided by your piercer to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
A complete healing of tongue piercing can take up to 4 weeks.
That is based on the tongue size ( not all tongues are created equally ) the thicker the tongue the longer the barbell. This is to make room for swelling. Your professional body piercer will check your tongue and size you for the right barbell to do the job. Two weeks after the piercing is done the swelling will have eased off and a shorter barbell can be put into the piercing to avoid doing dental damage.
The barbell is a bit too long, but that's due to the swelling. Once the swelling is gone (about 2 weeks) go back and get a shorter barbell, this will relieve the discomfort under your tongue.
About 3 days max.
Nothing. The initial barbell you get is long because it has to accommodate for swelling. Its the same kind of barbell, just longer than what youre gonna wear once the swelling is gone
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.
The doctor said she will be fine as long as I use that ointment and stop sticking prickly pears in her. The swelling should subside and the rash disappear within a few days...
Typically you should wait at least 30 days before changing the tongue bar that you were pierced with. A shorter surgical steel tongue bar may be put in to replace the original tongue bar after swelling in the tongue goes down.
When you get your tongue pierced it is more than likely going to swell a lot. You can suck on ice chips to bring some of the swelling down and for the first few days you will probably have to stick to foods such as soup, yogurt and popcycles. After the swelling goes down you can return to normal foods.
Not all tongues are created equal, the barbell needs to be sized for the tongue to which it is going to be put into with room allowed for swelling. This will all be done when you see your professional body piercer for your appointment
