How To Reduce Pain And Swelling In Achilles Tendon?

I recently went running while visiting family in Seattle. I think I strained my Achilles in my left foot from going up and down the steep hills. It was a little sore, but I didn t do anything about it. Then when I went running back home my normal (mostly flat) route, it became very painful. Now it is swollen also. Any advice?
