Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that you are having some kind of infection of the taste buds, actually the symptoms you are mentioning they appear to be infectious .
This infection can be because of this piercing also or can be a candida infection. Once you have to visit a good dentist to get it properly examined and treated.
Hope it will help you.
