Yes, however it should be noted that tongue piercings are one of the least painful piercings to get.
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
Swelling and discharge from piercings is normal in the first few days post piercing. Swelling can last any where from a week to 3 weeks depending on the piercing. Controlling the swelling and maintaining good post piercing care is critical. Discharge of whitish yellow material from the piercing is normal and this too will ease off as the piercing heals. Again keeping the piercing health clean and happy is very important.Washing the piercing daily in the shower and rinsing with lots of warm running water is important to flush matter out of the piercing and allowing the piercing to breath.Staying on cold stuff for oral piercings is important and the addition of Ibuprofen , Advil or even Chamomile tea ice cubes helps to keep the swelling down.Oral piercings and the swelling related to them can last any where up to 2 or 3 weeks, this swelling will go down day by day and maintaining a clean environment for the piercing is important.Should you experience more swelling, redness and the discharge of green puss with pain and warmth to the touch your piercing is infected and must be treated as soon as possible. See your professional body piercer for assistance as soon as possible.
Nostril piercing done by a professional body piercer should have no swelling due to the method and technique used to do the piercing. A nostril piercing done with a piercing gun (which is in contravention of most health regulations and guidelines) will have swelling and is not an acceptable means or method to pierce a nostril (generally the placement is incorrect and the jewellery is not designed to be used in that manner).
You can bite their tonuge if you are french kissing and their tonuge is in your mouth.
you can take ibuprofen or suck on ice to help the swelling.
Because the tonuge is a muscle, it heals up as soon as you take it out, so i would recomend you keep it in, even if it is healed.
There should be no swelling if the piercing was done by a professional body piercer in a licensed and inspected facility. Swelling is generally caused by over using a cleaning solution or the piercing was done by a piercing gun (which when it comes to Tragus piercings is not only dangerous it's also a violation of most standing health guidelines for body piercing). So the best bet is to irrigate the area with warm running water in the shower while moving the jewellery, if the swelling is to the point where the jewellery can't be moved then you need to see a professional body piercer to have the jewellery changed to something that will allow the piercing to discharge and thus relieve the swelling.
Ice for 20 mins, and Tylenol .
