Depends on what color and consistancy the puss is. If it's clear or creamy then that's just the normal process but if it's yellow or has a really bitter taste then yes. Plasma is released and turns kind of crusty or white and that means that the injured area (which a piercing is) is healing although a tongue ring is an open wound since the tongue is a muscle. If it turns to a really weird color, starts to make your breath gross no matter what or has a bad taste and lasts really long definately see a doctor. For basic questions ask the person who pierced your tongue to check it out.

its not puss. its called lymph (discharge) what color is it? discharge (drainage ) is nrmal for the healing process. your tongue ring is only a week old and will still be drainign and some swelling still. if it is whitish you are fine. but symptoms of an infectoin is excessive swelling, pain and yellow or green discharge. if you ahve all of those symptoms thats when you shoudl go to see the doctor.
just keep doign the sea salt rinses and you should be fine.
actually you soudl see the piercer first and see if you do inded have an infectoin if you have all of the symptoms above and then go tot he docotr for antibiotics. if you go tot he doctors they may tell you to take it out which is a NO NO!

The first thing I would do would be to go back to the place where you got the pircing. Talk to the pircer, and see what he/she has to say. Are you following the cleaning procedures? Try using a salt water gargle, but be sure to rinse your mouth out with water after the gargle. If the artist sees a problem they will let you know.

It's part of the healing process,you're fine just use mouthwash after each meal and try rinsing your mouth with sea salt and water.

use mouth wash. it is normal, i got that too when i had it done. leave it alone and try to eat food that you dont need to chew much. dont forget to use mouthwash as many times as you can.
