Remove the tongue: Hardware and let the tongue heal. Avoid oral trauma by piercing the tongue or lips. Just don't do it! you are setting yourself up for problems much worse than "gleeking".

Take out the ring: Take out the piercing and let the tongue heal. Obviously this was caused by the act of piercing the tongue. So if you reverse the problem, the issue should go away. It's not worth it.
