Ice the lip: You can ice your lip but a cold sore is a virus.  You should start putting abreva (over the counter) on the lip.  You could get a prescription antibiotic from your doctor.  Generally, Acyclovir is recommended.  Keep in mind most cold sores last 7-10 days.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Could be infection: My concern in this case would be bacterial infection or activation of a dormant cold sore (herpes simplex infection). It's possible swelling could result from an allergic reaction to products used on the site or even a component of the metal or other material the piercing object is composed of. A cold compress helps if it's simply a reaction to being pierced, but other causes might not be helped.
