It takes about a week, longest, for your tongue to go down fully. My piercings personally, they take a little longer. I would go to your piercer and see, but it sounds infected, and you should probably go to the doctor and get some anti-biotics. Do not take the piercing out! it will trap the infection in your body.

lol it's your tongue. it will swell for the next few days . mine still is and i got it done late last week. and the puss is white blood cells - normal for healing piercings. don't wory just keep rinsing with sea salt and water every time you eat, drink, or smoke to prevent infections
