What should I do if the swelling around my piercing does not go away?
Swelling around an oral piercing is normal for up to around 7 or 8 days. If the swelling continues for longer than this period you should visit a doctor. Do not simply go back to the studio where you had your piercing done. Prolonged swelling often indicates infection and infection is often the result of poor hygiene at the studio where you had your piercing. Always go straight to your doctor if you think this scenario is the case with your swelling.
