Motrin, like aspirin is a pain reliever as well as an anti-inflammatory. The problem is that the side effects of the two tend to be quite different. Research the side effects before using either.

Elevating the affected area, applying ice packs for 15-20 minutes every few hours, and taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen can help reduce swelling.

Do not remove it when it is swollen. You can cause tiny tears in your skin, which can increase swelling even further, and cause infection.
