Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
Because swelling starts within seconds of an injury, start RICE immediately.

Rest is necessary since, if you continue exercise and other activities you may extend the injury.
Ice is strong medication. It helps stop internal bleeding and the accumulation of fluids in and around the injured area, thus decreasing swelling.
Compression limits swelling and allows for deeper penetration of heat or cold.
Elevation of an injured part above the level of the heart uses gravity to help drain excessive fluid
