Can you take a pain pill after your tongue piercing is done?

No I had my tongue pierced in November (9 month ago on the 15th) ive had it done, and when I got back home well I as living with my gran at that moment of time as my parents was going through a divorce and we had to get somewhere else it was only three weeks there like but yeah anyway when I got back there I took some liquid medicine (sashes) for about a week even at school because I could physically not put it in my mouth and swallow it
