There are no medications that you can use at home, as most human medications are toxic to cat. Others are not really pain relief medications and would not even touch the pain cause by a fracture. I would therefore recommend to see a vet so that the fracture can be confirmed and the best way forward found. Hope this helps ! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
