If you think it's infected, continue cleaning the piercing with saline solution and avoid removing the jewellery unless advised by a professional. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, pain and discharge. You can ask us or a healthcare professional for further advice.

After getting an oral piercing, avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods, as well as alcohol and tobacco products. Stick to soft foods and cold beverages to reduce swelling and discomfort.
