How can I reduce swelling on my face from recent facial piercings?

But is there any home remedies or something for swelling? I%26#039;ve tried ice.





And something probably unrelated, what is the difference between Tylenol and Ibuprofen?


|||Tylenol has acetaminophen in it.ibuprofen does not.





both can be used to relieve pain, but ibuprofen is what is typically recommended for reduction of swelling in piercings.








ice and ibuprofen can both be used to reduce swelling in piercings if it is excessive. You will not be able to completely eliminate swelling especially in the first few days of having a piercing. also, when you sleep, prop your head up as much as possible to lessen swelling in your sleep





if the swelling that you are experiencing is so bad that it is making your jewelry tight around the hole or sink in to the hole (or both), you need to go back to the piercer and get fitted with longer jewelry. If you leave it, the jewelry will become embedded in your skin and sometimes can only be removed by surgery.





if you are concerned with your swelling, go back to your piercer and get their advice.
