What to do ---->: I would suggest that you remove the tongue ring as it is prone to many problems including infections and breaking teeth! see a dentist or a physician for a personal exam, evaluation and advice as to how to deal with your infection.

Yes: However nothing good happens yo your mouth by having a tongue ring. Recurrent infections, cracked teeth, are just the most common occurrences . Get that ring out!
