How do I get rid of a bump on my tongue?

Question:

I got my tonuge pierced about 4 months ago and everything has been fine until now. 2-3 days ago a bump in front of my piercing appeared. What could it be and how do I get rid of it?

Answers:
no offense to some of the people who have answered you, but never ever ever put peroxide on a piercing! Just keep rising with an anteseptic like scope. As for the bump don't worry about it. The skin around a new peircing dies. It is nothing to worry about; just the body's way of accomadating something that doesn't belong. It will go away on it's own. If you are having infected looking puss, rinse with listerine or a hospital grade mouthwash everytime you put anything in your mouth. DO NOT take out the peircing if it is infected. The skin can cover the infection and trap it. The result could be very bad, up to a systemic infection that could make you very sick or even kill you! If you are that worried go see a doc and get an antibiotic. Make sure you are taking a multivitamin and xtra zinc, b vitamins, and C. these all help in healing.

Its probably an infection. Just make sure to clean the bar or whatever that goes in your mouth really good as well as your tongue and make sure no food gets in that hole where the tongue was pierced.

get rid of the peircing it comes from what ever you have stuck in your tough yuck eeww thats bad

It may be an acid bump; have you been eating acidic foods such as fruits? You can use hydrogen peroxide or Alum. Alum is found in spice section at store.

If that doesn't help; see a doctor.

you have to ride it our sorry unless infection has set in then go to a doc

First take the tongue ring out of you tongue. It is either an infection or a blood clot. Without examining your tongue it is difficult to say. I would go with infection, only because of the location of the tongue ring being so close to it.
I would suggest 7-10 daily washing with Listerine mouth wash, especially after you eat and before and after you sleep. If you have the ability to contact a doctor for a prescription of antibiotics, I would do so. Remember to take a small dosage. It is not good to flood your system with antibodies. It allows you body to become immune to the antibiotic when you might need them most during a critic time. No doc, no problem, just load up on some multivitamins to jump start your immune system.
