Please help, I'm super concerned about my tongue piercing, I got it done exactly a week ago and the swelling has gone down abit though not completely but that's not the issue. My tongue has gone green and tastes a little strange. I'm too embarrassed to show friends my piercing as my tongue is green and makes my breath smell funny. I was using Cepacaine oral solution about 3 times a day and a friend said that was too much and I should dilute it. So I now use it morning and night half diluted along with brushing my teeth. I try to brush my tongue to remove the green coating but I does nothing. Should I take the piercing out ?
