FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS:
- Swish with Listerine for 20-30 seconds every time you eat, drink, or smoke.
- Very gently brush the tongue to remove any discharge or buildup.
- Avoid hot, spicy foods, hot temperature foods, or acidic foods and beverages, such as tomato sauce and orange juice.
FOR THE FIRST MONTH:
- You must leave your original jewelry in for at least a month before changing it out.
- Slight swelling or discharge from the pierced area is normal.
SWELLING MAY BE REDUCED BY THE FOLLOWING:
- Applying ice or popsicles to the tongue.
- Taking Advil, Motrin, or Ibuprofen.
- Avoid sucking through a straw.
FOR THE FIRST TEN DAYS:
- NO BEER, WINE COOLERS, OR MALT LIQUOR. These products can cause a yeast infection in the mouth that will need medical attention
ENJOY YOUR PIERCINGS!
