the swelling last for a week, do not change the per icing for 6 weeks, and take a ibuprofen for pain and swelling, keep gargling with Listerine each time you eat or drink.also they have rubber balls that won't damage your teeth

I'm sorry you did this.Of the few dozen people I know who did this , including two of my children... no one kept it for more than 6-7 months.
All got tired of being teased and the problems talking and eating.
eventually got to them and the shock your parents value next to nill... I do hope it is not infection so take pain medicine and eat soft cold things as much as your can. Milkshakes would be good.
eventually you will have to tell them. please don't do it the way my daughter did. when we were out to celebrate a siblings birthday.they were giggling among themselves and would not tell me why. in the middle of the restaurant after pestering them for the reason for the laughter she stuck out her tongue to show the piercing.
some how you have to tell your parents. she picked that as the safest place to let it out coz I couldn't chew her out at the restaurant...

you better watch out...you could and may have an infection. If this persist,you better let your parents know right away. This can be fatal. If you do get and infection you will needs antibiotics...and right away..and hey..if you are underage...you can get rich by suing that parlor that did it. Now do you see why parents don't let kids do these things....

it's probably the material the tongue ring is made of that's irritating your tongue.
