Swelling and discharge from piercings is normal in the first few days post piercing. Swelling can last any where from a week to 3 weeks depending on the piercing. Controlling the swelling and maintaining good post piercing care is critical. Discharge of whitish yellow material from the piercing is normal and this too will ease off as the piercing heals. Again keeping the piercing health clean and happy is very important.
- Washing the piercing daily in the shower and rinsing with lots of warm running water is important to flush matter out of the piercing and allowing the piercing to breath.
- Staying on cold stuff for oral piercings is important and the addition of ibuprofen , Advil or even Chamomile tea ice cubes helps to keep the swelling down.
- Oral piercings and the swelling related to them can last any where up to 2 or 3 weeks, this swelling will go down day by day and maintaining a clean environment for the piercing is important.
Should you experience more swelling, redness and the discharge of green puss with pain and warmth to the touch your piercing is infected and must be treated as soon as possible. See your professional body piercer for assistance as soon as possible.

How do you get a lip piercing when you have a needle phobia?
You get over it and face your fear. If you really want a lip piercing, which by the way, makes it difficult to get a job if you are young, then you will face your fears and get it done. The initial pain is only temporary and the healing pain lasts for weeks, it is a big decision. Putting holes in your body is an injury according to your body's defense system. You shouldn't fear the needle, you should fear the infection, the swelling, the soreness and the occasional pus that comes with the piercing. Just a note, pus should NEVER come out of a piercing. Pus is a sign of infection. You probably mean lymph fluid which is normal.
