What Is The Treatment For Sun Burn And Blisters After It?

Hi, Saturday I was in the sun and got sunburn on my forehead and then it blistered on Sunday. Monday my forehead was swollen and today it is still swollen but not as bad. But the swelling has started to move down my forehead and is in between both eyebrows mainly. What should I take or do. I have been putting a cold compress on it and taking advil. Is there anything else I should be doing?
