Answers:
In addition to what the other person has said about icing the area and eating colder temperate foods, also purchase some "surgical spirit" from the drug store and dab a little on the outer lip area, this will help remove any blood or matter residue that forms and help prevent infection and inflammation!. The product is really cheap and available at all drug stores!. The most important thing is to regularly clean the area and leave the piercing in to take set!.

P!.S!.Doing it yourself was really hardcore - Well done!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I just had a labret piercing, and I found that using an Ibuprofen drug like Nurofen helped massively with the swelling and discomfort!. Chewing ice helps initially, but gets less helpful after a few hours!. Really, the Ibuprofen is the way to go!. With any piercing, there's just gonna be swelling!.

Also, I'm certain you know this because its VERY important, but you should be washing the pierced area with boiled water which has cooled to luke warm and with a few pinches of salt, once or twice daily!. Its very soothing!. Also, don't remove your piercing for at least two weeks, and then only to put in a shorter piercing to avoid gum damage!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just try to keep your hands away from it unless they are clean!. Also, be sure to rinse your mouth out with warm salt water or Listerine after eating or smoking!. Be careful when eating certain foods that require you to open your mouth really wide, it puts stress on the skin for it to stretch!. I've also been told to should avoid kissing and performing oral sex to prevent infection, though I'm sure a small peck on the lips here and there wouldn't hurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well just keep on placing some ice on there on n off ice placement!.
eat cold things n dont take the piercing out till after about 4-5 days twirl it around in cirlces
