Yeah give it another few days or a week. Stop playing with it if you have been. Invest your money in some chamomile tea and drink that, it will help bring the swelling down. Pineapple juice is an anti-inflammatory, if your tongue still hurts you can freeze some in icecubes and it feels good and it brings the swelling down.

Your tongue is a muscle.Despite all the bacteria(micro-organisms)in the human mouth its healing powers are amazing.Being in Dentistry and doing a lot of surgery I have seen this but the tongue has millions of taste buds and as a muscle may take longer to heal.I would never pierce my tongue and feel you might regret it.Talking is difficult and pushes against your upper teeth where after time could move(buck teeth)Yuck!!!!Health Question & Answer
