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.
What size jewelry should you start off with for a tongue piercing?
when you get your tongue pierced, the piercer will put in a long bar to accompany the swelling, as it does swell quite a lot. But after at least 2 weeks, you may change it to a smaller one. Also, dont keep your tongue bar out for too long, as it does heal quite quickly. It may sting at first while you change it, but just suck on some ice cubes or something. Hope that helped.
How long do you leave a tongue stud in for?
I'd wait 2-3 weeks then change to a shorter bar. Go to your piercer to do it so that they can be sure that its ready to change. And so that it'll be autoclaved jewelry
Ive done my tongue piercing couple of days ago its not swollen but my gums at the bottom hurt why will the pain go away?
It's probably because of the long bar in your tongue. Long bars are necessary because they allow your newly-pierced tongue to swell without swallowing the jewelry. If its really painful, go to your piercer after the swelling goes down to get a shorter bar. Or you could just wait till it fully heals and change it yourself.

Some people may be able to have a second change down if their tongue is smaller.

Can you use nipple bars as tongue bars?
Yes, as long as the gauge is correct for the tongue piercing - for example : nipple bar is 14 gauge - usual tongue piercing jewellery is 14 gauge and the length of the nipple bar is the correct length for the wearers tongue (this varies from person to person). Basically - if it fits - wear it!

2 weeks after the piercing was done, the swelling will be down by then and the barbell can be changed for a shorter one.
How long is a long tongue bar?
Each barbell is scaled to the size of the tongue to be pierced therefore there is no "actual size" barbell for tongues, this is why you need to have the piercing done by a professional body piercer who will scale and measure the tongue and place the correctly sized barbell into the piercing.
