This can be due to misuse or over use of an oral rinse, this is also common with galvanic corrosion which can occur with mismatched barbell components made of different materials. The corrosion occurs when the barbell is in the mouth and in contact with saliva (which is acidic) the mismatched materials are there fore in an acid solution and start to corrode.

The resulting corrosion can affect the tongue, gums and throat. Have the barbell changed to a matching material barbell (some studios get mismatched material barbells and don't even know it). If you need too, check out other studios to find a barbell that is made from the same material (internal thread, external thread doesn't really matter, it's a piercer's opinion and nothing more).

With the oral rinse issue, you only need to rinse in the morning and again just before bed. Some piercers get carried away with the over use of mouth wash (it really isn't that necessary to be rinsing every hour) staying on cold stuff for the swelling and even rinsing with fresh cold water will work just fine after meals.

Cutting back on the rinsing may make a noticeable change in the gums. If after having modified your after care and given it 24~48 hours you still have gum discomfort then consider having the barbell changed.
