A tongue piercing can be perfect
We have already seen how dangerous it is that a piercing gets infected in the mouth so be very careful to heal it and observe its evolution.
How to know if the tongue piercing has infected And they are not the typical annoyances that will go away with time? These are the symptoms according to the experts.
Tongue piercing infection
But if you get infected ...
It takes 6 to 8 weeks for the tongue to heal and it is usually normal for the first two to have moderate irritation and swelling. If the swelling lasts for more days, gets worse, or makes it difficult for you to swallow, you must go to the emergency room as it can be very dangerous. The same goes for irritation, if the redness lasts for more days, is inflamed and hurts a lot, you are sure to have an infection.
Another of the clear symptoms of advanced infection that needs immediate treatment with medications is having red lines or streaks that start from the piercing and run through the tongue.
Si you bleed The first few days is normal, but if it lasts it could be another of the symptoms that indicate that something is wrong.
The same goes for the color change in the tongue (yellow, green, purple or black); also, the darker, the more advanced the infection.
You should go to the doctor as soon as you notice the symptoms
If there pus In the piercing, you clearly have an infection. The more severe it is, the darker the pus, you can do an emergency cure with salt water but go to the doctor as soon as possible as it can advance; If you notice that it is greenish, you should go to get it treated now. As I have already told you, an infection in the mouth is very dangerous as it can reach the brain.
It is not recommended that you remove the piercing to heal as it can aggravate the infection: go to the doctor. Some specialists recommend using plastic (polypropylene) or polytetrafluoroethylene, as they collect less bacteria than stainless steel or titanium studs, thus avoiding the risk of possible infection.
