Unfortunately there are no safe over the counter medications for pain available. All the ones you could buy for humans would be life-threatening. You should really take your kitten to an emergency vet or Pet ER today for pain relief and proper diagnosis and stabilisation of the fractures. If you cannot do this , put her in a small box with soft bedding, and make sure she eats and drinks. If she does not eat or drink or is in a lot of pain you must take her to a vet today. While kittens can heal well and fast, they can also die fast, and broken legs do cause bleeding into the muscle which can actually cause a kitten to ebcome very anemic as well, and therefore weak.
