Maybe: I would suggest seeing the person who pierced your tongue.. Or an oral surgeon for an evaluation and possible treatment... Don't let this go by... If it is infected it could become life threatening..

Check it out: I would definitely go to an oral surgeon and have it checked by a professional.This is a serious matter and infection and swelling of the tongue can become life threatening.
