In what way can i relieve or get rid of shin splints?

Change it up: If you have shin splints you should take a week off of high impact activities. Use ibuprofen, ice and a shin splint neoprene sleeve to help alleviate the pain. Come up with a new exercise plan that rotates activities to avoid repetitive pounding which will reactivate the shin pain.
