The most effective way to reduce swelling, is RICE.

That is:

Rest

Ice

Compression

Elevation

You must do this for a couple of days, if it doesn't get better, visit a doctor.

IT depends on where the piercing is. Tongue - Ice and ice cold water. Do NOT eat any solid foods and talk as little as possible. Belly - Sea Salt works wonderfully. That and not touching the area. Wearing light and loose clothing, ice and washing the area with anti bacterial soap every night before bed. Also, At bedtime try to keep off of the peirced area as much as possible.

Well usually you would put ice on it but if that's not working put it in ice water in a good size bowl I have a jammed or broken finger we don't know yet I'm actually typing with one hand right now hahaha but a splint will also take care of your finger be careful if you do not have anything on your finger right now if you damage you finger even more you will need medical help if its broke go to the doctors to make sure its really broke get an ex-ray just in case if its just jammed or sprained get a splint.

You can use Benrdril ... I think that's how you spell it. Make sure not a over dose. That would be bad. That should help
