It is swollen, but no redness as far as I can tell.

To tell you the truth, after the first 24-48 hours, heat or ice can help ease the pain and inflammation.
How is your general wellbeing? Any fever? Cough? Lethargy? Fatigue?
Was it swollen the last time? If the swelling is new you might want to get some medical opinion as it might be more than just a simple injury.
Else RICE is for a couple of days, but if there is no improvement seek medical opinion.
