Hi,
Applying a cold compress to the swollen area. Applying a warm compress to promote the movement of fluid buildup. Be careful if you do so around the eye area since the skin here is more sensitive. Taking the appropriate allergy medication/antihistamine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
