Eye swelling

Hey guys,

I took a shot to the eye and its swollen up, anyone know how I can get it down quicker?

I've taken some anti-inflammatories and have been icing it, seems to help a bit, was considering draining it - is that a good idea?

Just keep iceing it, and stay away from anything that will thin your blood. Such as alcohol, salt and so forth.
