I Was nervous from studying for my test. Instead of biting my nails, i was biting my lower lip. Its lightly swollen. How long will it be swollen for and any tips for improving it. Thanks...

It shouldn't be swollen for more than 3 hours, if that. I guess this will teach you not to do it again huh? Good luck.

it's too late to make the swelling go away. You have to put ice on it straight away to stop swelling the moment you bite it. It should go down by it's self in a few days. Try the ice anyway - it might still help maybe.
Keep an eye on any areas where you broke the skin for infection. you can put bi carb soda on the cut (It will sting like crazy and hurt for a bit) but it will stop infection, or just rinse with really salty water (slightly warm) a few times a day to keep it clean. see a doctor if it doesn't strt going down in another day or two. And try not to suck your swollen lip (I know it's hard to not play with it).
Hope this helps you.
