Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Delayed swelling?

So I did my conch on Tuesday and it was fantastic until last night about 2am, it actually woke me up. I bragged to my husband before bed lastnight that it felt great with no swelling then boom! Its so dam sore. I have seen some posts about delayed swelling but is it really a thing? And why? And is it normal?

Not downsized, 4 days old, saline 2-3x a day, no bumps or mishaps, implant grade and 10mm long labret type flatback first 2 pics Tuesday fresh and next are like 3am last night.
