Answers:
Take an aspirin.
Also, use 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt(make sure it is sea salt, not the normal salt) with 8 oz of water. You can use cold water to try to reduce the swelling, but during normal cleaning you probably want to use warm water. anyway, dip a cotton puff in this and put it on the outside of your piercing. do this for about 7 minutes. This will help clean it and most likely reduce irritation. (by the way, this is the ONLY thing you should use to clean the outside of your piercing. for the inside, use an alcohol free mouthwash)
Other than that, just leave it alone. The more you touch it, the more irritated it will be.
DON'T PUT CONCEALER AROUND IT!!!!! this will totally irritate and possibly infect your piercing. If it's red, it's red. It's only one day.
