how to reduce swelling?


Question:
i got this huge bruise on my right cheek and its getting really pig, how do i reduce it?

Answers:
Rest: stop chewing and talking
Ice: probably better to use a cold can of pop from the fridge as ice will cause thermal skin injury but refridgerated drinks at about 4 degee centigrade will not
Compress: Put the can in a thin towel and press against the swelling for a little while
Elevate: Keep your head above heart level
If that doesn't work, seek medical advice as it suggests there is ongoing bleeding into the tissues although that is unlikely unless you have a blood clotting disorder or have injured a major artery.
