Nipple piercing during period

Eve

I didn't even think about how my nipple piercings would feel during my period and unluckily I started about two hours after I got them pierced. It's been about 4 days now so my boobs are started to get real sore. Anything that will help?!?! I take ibuprofen for the pain and swelling but it's not working cause my period. Will an ice gel pack over my bra work??? HELPPPP!!!!
