Seeing a doctor/dentist IS the only option!
One office visit AFTER you get the thing taken out by the piercer,( the doc won't know how to easily detach the thing) and an appropriate antibiotic will be prescribed.
The consequence of not following through with proper medical care is much worse than any $ or parental disapointment.

First if your not old enough to have your tongue pierced the person that did it sould be ashamed. But after that I had my tongue pierced and a similar thing happened she is right about the salt and Listerine but if it is turning any worse it week be obvious and you will have to tell your parents

Maybe one of the clinics that treat kids who have unprotected sex and do not want their parents to know will be able to give you an prescription for the antibiotic.

If you have an infection and you can't go to the doctor and get an antibiotic without your parents knowing then you really have to tell them.They'll probubly find out anyway if the infection gets really bad. The infection could spread all over and get you really sick. Listerine and sea salt? You're probubly going to have to take the piercing out and let it heal. Can you get it done later? When you don't need your parents permission.

Just go to a professional piercing place. Even though you didn't get it pierced their they can tell you what to do. Also you can go to a clinic where you don't need insurance. Some tongue piercings can get really bad and be a threat to your breathing paths so get profeesional help from a doctor or a professional experienced piercing place.

Ha you should tell your parents. How old are you 12, 13, 2?
They may get mad, but honesty is a virtue. Always tell the truth. Do that or it'll spread to your brain. Just kidding. :-)
But yet I say tell your parents. Honesty = People like you better.

EARLOBES ARE ONE THING, THE TONGUE IS QUITE DIFFERENT. THE MOUTH HAS MORE TYPES OF BACTERIA THAN ITS OPPOSITE END.
FOR BEST RERSULTS TAKE THE PIERCING OUT AND LET IT HEAL.

Salt water is good but why can't you tell your parents? Do you honestly think they don't know (or aren't going to find out) about the piercing? Are you planning on keeping your mouth closed whenever they're around for the next 40 years!
Okay so you don't want to tell your parents...is there not an older sister or aunt or cousin or grandparent or school nurse or a friend's mum you could talk to?
If you're over 18 then what does it matter whether your parents approve or not...and, if you're under 18, then your parents should know cuz there are probably some questions that need to be asked of the person who did the piercing for you!

Tell your parents?? First of all you must be 18 to get a piercing or have parental consent if not, so if the so called piercer pierced your tongue and you are not at least 18 or have a consent form signed they can be shut down if it is an actual shop. Second of all if it was one of your friends who did this to you then I would reconsider the friendship. Either way do you think even if it healed great and you live with your parents you can hide it from them forever? Get medical attention as soon as possible and forget the piercings.

Sea salt will help. Try and do what the piercer said but if it gets worse you must goto the doctor. You don't want to mess about with your tongues health.

Take the damn thing out of your mouth and gargle with TCP every 2 hours. If it doesn't clear up within 2 days thay I'm sorry but the doctor DOES become an option. Unless you want to get really sick!

WTF, are you twelve or what? If you can't take care of a piercing (it's not hard) then you shouldn't have one. You seem way too young anyway.

First... why is seeing a doctor or dentist not an option? It is the best thing for you to do! Keeping secrets from your parents is the wrong thing to do. Especially if it is keeping you from proper medical care. And if you have to keep it a secret, that must mean that you're too young to be making such decisions. That also means that a professional piercer was doing wrong in piercing your tongue if you are a minor.
Was it a smart thing to do, piercing your tongue? NO WAY! I've seen too many cases where people have developed mouth ulcers, infected abscesses in the tongue, broken teeth from biting absentmindedly on the bar and, the extreme, one case of cancer of the floor of the mouth.
Jewelry is not meant to be a mouth ornament!
Be smart... take the bar out and see a doctor. Get treated before it gets too bad. If you are so intent on body ornamentation, get a tattoo!

Do what the piercer told you to do. It will probably heal faster if you take the piercing out and let it heal over. Just make sure you are VERY regular with the washings. If you still have doubts, talk to your school nurse.

wash your mouth out with peroxide and water as often as you can. sea salt is good for healing, too. it will heal faster if you take the stud out.

Gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide, listerine or salt water (1/8 tablespoon to 1 water bottle).
If it gets any worse...you MUST tell your parents and see a doctor.

Salt can kill germs. A saline rinse can be ordinary salt and water. It doesn't have to be sea salt. Listerine will also kill germs. You could try either one, but it doesn't get any better after awhile or gets worse, you probably will need to see the doctor.

Your taking a chance here.
An infection is an infection. Some can heal with rinses but some need antibiotics.
If you want to chance waiting and seeing if the sea salt and Listerine works then you can.
Otherwise you should tell your parents and get into the Dr. asap!
(If the infection spreads then you might end up with a horrific outcome, which you don't want. If it were me, I would bite the bullet and tell my parents. I would rather have a mad mom and dad then live without a tongue!)

Nope.
Keep trying to get worthless medical advise from people you don't know until your toungue swells up and rots to the point the infection kills you, or they have to remove it.
Wait a week without antibiotics and see how it goes...and learn how to use sign language now before they remove your tongue.
TELL YOUR PARENTS AND GET IT TREATED!
Idiot.

Go to a doctor or emergency room. You need anti-biotics and they are only available by prescription. You also need Peridex (prescription only). It's an anti-microbial Mouthwash. Tell your parents, go to a doctor, have the piercing removed, and get treated before you get septic (blood infection).
You are gambling with your health if you don't seek immediate medical treatment. If your tongue swells enough, you may stop breathing.
Tongue piercings have many risks, especially if they aren't done in a sterile environment:
Infection: is a possibility with any opening in skin or oral tissues. Since the mouth is teeming with bacteria, oral piercing carries a high potential for infection at the site of the piercing. Handling the jewelry once it has been placed increases the chances of developing an infection.
Prolonged bleeding: can occur when damage is done to the tongue's blood vessels.
Swelling and possible nerve damage: Swelling is a common symptom experienced after oral piercing. Since the tongue is in constant motion it can slow and complicate the healing process. It has been reported that some swelling due to tongue piercing have been serious enough to block the airway.
Blood borne disease transmission: of hepatitis B, C, D and G, and syphilis. Tetanus and tuberculosis are also a risk. The Institutes of Health has identified piercing as a possible route for the transmission of hepatitis.
Blood poisoning, toxic shock, septicemia, tetanus, AIDS, staph infections and sexually transmissible disease can be associated with oral piercing.
Endocarditis: is a serious inflammation of the heart valves or tissues. The wound created during oral piercing provides an opportunity for oral bacteria to enter the bloodstream, where it can travel to the heart. This presents a risk for people who have cardiac abnormalities.
