    I just got my tongue pierced 2 weeks ago. the swelling lasted for about 5 days. but it can last up to 2 weeks with some people. it just depends. make sure your eating/sucking on ice and taking ibuprofen it will help with the swelling A LOT lol. it will help if you use your tongue more often during the say also. like talking a lot. eating solid food and so on. it’ll be sore the morning after but it does help with the swelling. hope this helped :) and don’t worry. . the swelling will go down soon.
