What to do with an injured thumb?

Floyd, VA(Zone 6b)

Today I fell getting up from a table in a table crowded room. I just tumbled over backwards not even realizing that a collision had occurred. My head hit the edge of a wooden chair, but that seems to be the least of my problems. I can't take ibuprophen or asprin so I am making do with tylenol. My left thumb is what is swollen and hurting but not broken.
I did the ice thing for a couple of hours and fell asleep. Now what do I do? More tylenol? More ice? Just wait it out? This is just a minor problem I know; but I want to do the thing that is best for me. Any advice?
