Aspirin and ibuprofen are anti-inflammatory. They should slightly reduce swelling.

Go to the hospital. Get yourself some painkillers, but don't use too much. Use those ice packs, but make sure they are cold enough. Try not to rely on it too much. Ice packs contract blood vessels and numb nerve cells, possibly causing loss of circulation. The blood carries osteoblasts, which will help to heal your broken bones.
Good luck!

Keep the ice paks on it and relax. Only time will help at this point.

Go to the doctor. Do you want an infection?
