nostril piercing swelling?

I just got both of my nostrils pierced tonight. I really should have thought to ask my piercer...but I didn't.

how long does the swelling usually last? its not toooooo bad, but it is slightly uncomfortable to the point that it making my septum jewelry not sit properly (it keeps sliding to one side if that makes sense)

and which would be better? heat or ice?

    It could take a few days, it depends on how your body heals. I'd put a little ice in a baggy,then wrap it in a cloth. Gently hold it on your nose for 5-10min at a time.
