How to reduce swelling from dental abscess?

Id say warm compress to reduce the rapid swelling and to stop the pain you might try a cold pak wrapped in a couple of paper towels ...they make great sheets for hot paks and ice paks ....if you've got a IBUprofien or tylenol you can take one or two and this is also a inflamation reducer!....good luck it will be a couple days and you should be as good as new!
