Fix a swollen lip from a piercing?

swelling can last for up to a week and a half any longer then you should go back to your piercer, if its not you, and ask them to check it out, the swelling should start to have reduced by the 5th day and soon after your lip should be back to normal completely in about 2 weeks at most, but still doesnt mean that it is healed. although depending on your body and how fast you heal, you can switch jewelry, its not reccommended because it may get infected or irritated by the new jewelry. I’ve changed my jewelry days after the peircing only because I somehow seemed to lose it almost every other day, till I ran out of back ups and went a day and a half without one, tried to put an earing back in but the inside of my lip already began to close, I pushed an earing thru just so I could get to a nearby store (because I had traveled out of state) but could not find any, so I left it out the entire trip (10 day) and by the time I got a new earing about 15 days later, it wasnt appearant that I had even peirced my lip in the first place lol, it was completely healed and closed, just peirced it again and it was swollen, red and throbbing from the bar sticking inside of my lip completely swallowing the bar and the flat back, I changed it to a hoop today about 4 days later and already the redness and pain is subsiding.
