Any suggestions from cartilage piercing pain?

I just got my forward triple helix done Saturday, can't lie its insanely painful. But it was just for the moment really. And at the moment the piercing itself isn't hurting unless I touch it or something, but behind my ear kills, which is apparently normal. I've been taking pain killers every 6 hrs, and the second it wears off it aches again and feels more like a radiating headache. Anyways I'm not a fan of taking painkillers so I'm wondering if y'all have any suggestions for the pain aside from that. Apparently it could last up to a month.. But I can't really be taking pain killers for a month, so anything would really be helpful.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Update:

Hey Judochop, its been awhile, hope you're doing good. Miss me?
