How to get mosquito bite swelling to go down?

The dang thing got me right next to my eye yesterday, and the bite has swollen to larger than the size of a quarter. Now my eye is partially swollen shut (I can still open it but it's annoying) and the bite doesn't itch too much, it sort of hurts. There's another one on the side of my face that has also swollen up. It's very irritating and a little painful, does anyone know what I could do to make the swelling go down?
