After swelling has gone down and it doesn't swell up every time you move it, our trainer has said that alternating ice and heat 20 min at a time will help.

option 1: RICE -- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

Option 2: Tourniquet around the neck. That treatment is indicated only for nose-bleeds, but I believe it to be effective in reducing many other injuries as well.
