Yes and no. Icing- Icing definitely will help in reducing the amount of swelling, but it is not a miracle treatment and therefore will not eliminate all traces of inflammation upon the first use. If you aren't icing the swelling, start doing so, but don't do it excessively. If you do, you may end up with an even bigger problem (frostbite, for example). Acetaminophen (Tylenol)- Acetaminophen may be effective in pain management but it will not do much for you in the way of inflammation.
