What do i if there is a bump on my tongue piercing but it hurt will go away?
If you have a bump on your tongue piercing that is causing pain, you should see a piercer or doctor as soon as possible.
1. Clean the piercing regularly with a saline solution. This will help to remove any bacteria or debris that may be irritating the piercing and causing the bump. To make a saline solution, mix 1/4 teaspoon salt with 8 ounces warm water. Gently rinse the piercing with the saline solution for 5-10 minutes, several times a day.
2. Apply a warm compress to the bump. This will help to reduce swelling and pain. Soak a clean cloth in warm water and hold it against the bump for 15-20 minutes, several times a day.
3. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. This can help to relieve the pain and inflammation associated with the bump.
4. Avoid eating spicy, acidic, or salty foods. These foods can irritate the piercing and make the bump worse.
5. Don't play with the piercing. This can introduce bacteria into the piercing and cause it to become infected.
6. If the bump does not go away within a few days, or if it becomes worse, you should see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other medications to treat the infection.
Here are some additional tips for preventing bumps on your tongue piercing:
- Make sure the piercing is done by a professional piercer using sterile equipment.
- Follow the piercer's instructions for aftercare.
- Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol.
