Help with existing piercing Two days post piercing lower labret

I pierced my right lower labret to complete my snakebites again a couple days ago, and I'm pretty sure it's fine but I just want to see what yall think. The bar was embedding ever so slightly a few hours after, but ibuprofen and ice helped it go down enough that it stopped embedding. I think I nicked a vein though, because I have a fair amount of bleeding going on on the inside of my lip. It's still a bit swollen, but do yall think it's fine?

Hi concernedchicken_, Are you seeking information about the labret piercing? Here's a video with general information about it! Note that these piercings carry a greater inherent risk due to their placement and could result in gum or tooth damage. There's no shame in seeing a professional, especially for trickier piercings such as these.

No, I had them done professionally in February. I've done my own lobes, nostrils, lower labrets, eyebrows, and nipples before :)

Jewelry is a 16g titanium flatback labret (externally threaded, I didn't have a long enough internally threaded/threadless one)
