i just got my tongue recently periced 3 days ago, and just yesterday night i realized that the tastebuds around my piercing became yellowish white . My pierce is on a huge slant , due to my short tounge and long web, it had to be peiced that way . Everytime i eat, it irritates the top of the piercing, and it's making the hole, somewhat bigger . And i jsut got sick a the other day, i woke up with a soar throat and lost my voice, but i don't think this happened due to my tounge piericing. being sick with a new tongue pierce, is my tongue infected? =/

it shouldnt bleed like that id go to a doctor or back to your piercist
as for the yellowish color and the sore throat its a part of the healing process if you dont feel better and a few weeks then i would be conserned, the yellow puss is perfectly normal just keep it clean and gargle some uniodined sea salt water. swelling should slow and you should be fine
