The swelling on the face can susbside faster bacasue the face has lots of blood supply. As long as there is no infection then healing will occur a lot faster. Putting ice initially will cause vasoconstriction which will prevent further swelling. After 48 hours, warm compress will help the blood vessels dilate and subside the swelling. It was a good thing to go to the E.R. to make sure there is no fracture to any bones on the face.

Ice is the best thing. You can use Tylenol to control the pain.

Ice, but not directly (cover it with a towel).
