Question 7

how do you reduce lip swelling when its from a piercing?

Could be infection: My concern in this case would be bacterial infection or activation of a dormant cold sore (herpes simplex infection).

A cold compress helps if it's simply a reaction to being pierced, but other causes might not be helped.
