How long should i wait to change my tounge piercing?i've been told 1 week ish. then told 4 weeks. also told i shouldn't drink within the 1st week ?

Instruction sheet: What instructions were you given ? Wait at least until all swelling has subsided. Stick to drinking ice water the first week eg I wouldn't bathe the new wound in soda, coffee or alcoholic beverages.
