New tongue piercing questions

[frog]

For me, both times I've had my tongue pierced, nurofen to keep the swelling down, and salt water mouth washes. I've had lots of body piercings, and since switching to salt water washes with newer ones (including surface piercings and ones down below), I have had much less irritation and crustiness (eww!) than I did with antiseptics or alcohol based things. Hope it heals nice and fast for you

I lived on slurpess and any soft food I would make really small and shove to back teeth to chew and swallow without tounge working too hard! Bout a week and I was fine.
