Swelling is normal after a piercing. Are you sure it's 3 times the size or are you exaggerating a bit through panic? If you're worried then go back to the piercing place for advice or go & see a doctor. I've had my tongue done & that swells quite a bit but it soon goes down. Try taking Ibuprofen to help the swelling go down & use ice on your lip.

NOTHING IS NORMAL ABOUT SELF MUTILATION!

i think you have an infection. you might have to take it off and clean it with rubbing alcohol (not the kind you drink). however, once you take it off you probably can't put it back so its a risk, but you might not have a choice if it is infected.

Piercings around or in the mouth are the ones most likely to get infected. You were not born with a piece of metal in your lip, so your body treats it like a foreign invader, and begins to send antibodies to destroy it. It already sounds infected. Drown it with a solution of 1/2 water, and 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide until you can see a doctor. You probably need antibiotics by mouth. Motrin and ice will help with the swelling, but if that doesn't help, and especially if you start seeing any kind of pus-like drainage, go to a doctor.

Put an icepack on it to attempt to reduce the swelling but you may have an infection from the piercing. See a Dr. if it isn't going down. You may have to let it heal and pierce it again later but with more sterile technique next time. Good luck

Get an ice pack on it. The cold should help with the swelling. Keep keeping it clean and it should be better in no time.

If it becomes infected then see your doctor early because it could lead to septicaemia (blood poisoning)

You need to visit A+E soon.

You will be okay so long as you continue to clean as you are doing. If your lip becomes 'hot' this could be a sign of infection.
