You can get rid of facial swelling at home by washing your face with ice cubes.

How to get rid of facial swelling
Firstly, you can resort to washing with ice cubes or contrast washing.
It is especially useful to wipe your face with ice cubes with mineral water, green tea, and chamomile.
As for contrast washing, it is carried out alternately with a hot and cold towel.
Lymphatic drainage self-massage also helps well with facial swelling.
It should be done with gentle movements from the center of the face, without stretching the skin.
One of the most common causes of facial swelling, according to Nelyubova, is an incorrect sleeping position.
It leads to congestion of the neck vessels. As a result, pain in the neck area and swelling occur.
It is recommended to perform self-massage of the collar area with gentle movements for several minutes, the specialist concluded.
