Q: i have a piercing in the middle of my lip and the ball on one end fell off, and then seconds later i was drinking water then realized my lip piercing was gone. i definitely think i swollen it, what should i do?

: The remainder of the "piercing" should pass through the digestive tract within a few days, and usually without complications. Intervention is not usually required .
