I think my tongue is going to fall out. The first time I got it pierced it was crooked. So I had it taken out and a week later I had it repierced. That was 5 days ago. Now my tongue is still swelled, and it is even more swelled in a heart shape around my ring and its purplish! It doesn't hurt though and it happened in the space of a few hours. I've been using the sea salt water stuff that I got and listerine after every time I put any food or drink in my mouth. It doesn't hurt but it looks really bad!! I don't want to lose my tongue! I am quite partial to my tongue and I would really prefer to keep it. I use it for lots of good things, like eating and talking and telling other people what to do. Someone PLEASE tell me what to do!
