Hello there.

I was trying to swap USDT for another token,  
And it failed but the network fee of $29 ETH wasn’t reversed.

How can i sort this?

I don’t have the details on why your tx failed but there could be various reasons for that such as the price of the token changing during the execution of the trade and the change being higher than the slippage you set. There could also be other reasons as setting gas too low. The reason is however mentioned in the failed tx.
