 Hi lonewolf_1281,
Popsicles, anything cold such as that should help with discomfort and swelling. You may also want to try some anti-inflammatory medications such as liquid Motrin to decrease the inflammation. Be sure to check with your physician prior to using NSAID's. I hope this helps :)
Sincerely,
Rntdj
