(Though this is not a recommendation).
Leaving it alone (hard one i know) keep unwashed hands away from it and stop playing with it with your tongue. These are all the things that can contribute to swelling.
Make sure your jewellery is long enough to take the swelling. If the ball looks like it is beginning to embed, go back to your piercer. They should change the bar.
