Don't chew ice, it can be irritated by this action, instead drink iced water, but don't use a straw.
They're quite often swollen and sore for a fortnight, but anything longer than this is considered to be abnormal, in which case, got back to your piercer. If it hurts too much to bear then you can crush up aspirin, mix it into a paste with a tiny bit of water and put it on either side of the piercing, which will increase blood flow, often making it throb, but making it less painful overall.
I'm afraid it's just one of those things that have to be endured.
Well done for such a good cleaning regime though.
good luck (:
