After using alcohol free mouthwash, tongue feels numb and stiff? not whole tongue, just the tip and only with alcohol free wash. tongue is pierced btw

Don't use it: There must be some ingredient in the mouthwash is causing a reaction. The best thing is not to use anything that does that to you especially after you've experience the problem more then once. Also, i agree, get rid of the piercing.
