HELP!! how do you reduce swelling?


Question:
i have a lump on my head lol because its all swelled up and i was wondering if there was anything i could do to reduce it faster besides putting ice on it

Answers:
U can take some Advil for the inflammation. I would also try some warm packs, then ice them after. This will reduce the swelling faster.
more ice
not that i know of ice is the only thing i know of
ice is about all you can really do
All I can think of is ice... sorry, but it works the best.
R I C E

This is good for any bump or bruise or sprain, etc.

R - Rest
I - Ice
C - Compression
E - Elevation

Keep your ice on 20min/off 20min. If you can get an ace bandage around it, it would be good, and keep your head above the rest of your body. That's the best we can do. If you see double or can't be woken up or any other strange symptoms, have someone drive you to the ER.
