How could i make the swelling on my lip go down due to a cold sore?

Comfortable: Stop playing with it. Do anything that makes you comfortable. It takes about 2 weeks to go away no matter what you seem to do. However check with your pharmacy for a few items that may make you more comfortable - remember that they generally do not shorten the 2 week time.
