In the first few days, when the piercing is still sore, start with liquids like broth-based soups, smoothies, and yogurt. After a few days, you can add soft, bland foods such as mashed potatoes, ice cream, bananas, avocado, moistened pancakes, and scrambled eggs.
Avoid eating hard or crunchy foods or anything salty or spicy, hot foods, or acidic food as they cause irritation and increase swelling and bleeding.
You can resume your regular diet after the swelling has gone down and the jewelry has been downsized.
