Put some ice on it. Don't worry, I hit my face about a week ago and the swelling went down in about 4-5 days.

Ice will reduce the swelling. Put some ice in a ziplock bag and hold it to the area for 30 minutes.

I think you mean swelling.
You're just going to have to be patient and wait for it to go down over a few days. I'm guessing you have a lump and some bruising? Ideally, putting ice on it immediately is the best course of action, but I guess it might be a little late for that...

placed an icepack on it, and take some tylenol or ibuprofen. A shot of whiskey will numb the discomfort (until eventually of direction your underage, then dont try this) that's recommended to bypass to the surgeon to establish you dont have any intense harm below that discomfort. Like a broken jaw, or concussion. yet yeah, ice is suitable for that, sorry to procure hit, that sucks :(

Take a pain reliever/ fever and swelling reducer, put a warm cloth on your face and if it doesn't get better see the doctor, it could be some internal bruising or a minor fracture causing it to stay.

Ice for the first 24 hrs, then heat. It works, trust me.

Yes, you can still use ice to reduce the swelling. Also some pain killers can help to reduce swelling...check the package.

Yes you can still use ice. That's your best bet...20 min on 10 min off..cover the icepack with a towel or something though.
