I got 2 in my tongue, In my experience, It swelled for about a week & then went down, It felt sensetive & eating was difficult & a little messy, kinda like eating like a bird, use gravity to get things to the back of your throat.
I would advise AGAINST using strong mouthwash because the alcahol can halt the healing process. I tried to stay away from alcahol, vinegar, hot/spicy food.
For the first week or 2 I used diluted mouthwash twice or 3 times a day & salty water every hour or so.
If the swelling doesnt go down within a week, go back to your peircer.
This is just my advice so dont take it as gospel. You can always just call your piercer & ask for advice.
