How does putting ice on a swollen body part make the swelling go down?

I’m just curious as to how it works.

Answer #1

It slows the flow of blood and thus decreases swelling.

Answer #2

Ice works as a constricting agent that narrows the blood vessels at the area of injury by reducing blood flow to that area
