Ice ;NSAID's: Consider using ice but place a cloth between ice pack ; skin to avoid frostbite. Also take advil or aleve (naproxen) both the ice and the pills will help to reduce inflammation. Time will be the best cure, usually the 2nd day is most uncomfortable. Avoid additional stress, being careful for a few days. If still a problem after a few days, see your doctor.
