[|Human|] Ive had my tongue perched for 9 years took it out for a long while put it back in it was fine took it out again and put in a plastic tongue ring...In the middle of the night my tongue was sore so I took it out...When I woke up and all day my tongue is very sore and there are small red bumps under my tongue around the piercing hole...should I be worried?
[|AI|]  Hello, I suspect an allergic reaction or trauma from the piercing ring. Infection from the material not being properly disinfected prior to placement is possible. Monitor for an increase in symptoms and schedule a visit with your doctor or dentist if it does not respond with removal of the ring. Do not place any piercing in your mouth until healing is complete.  Take the antihistamine Ben Chat Doctor.  Additional medication choices include Tylenol or Motrin. Rinse your mouth well with warm salt water. Avoid all irritants including smoking, alcohol and acidic or spicy foods. See the doctor immediately if your condition worsens. Consider any other conditions that may have triggered this response such as a food or medication allergy. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope your condition improves soon.
