Suggest Treatment For Tailbone Injury

Hi last evening I was walking down my steps and missed the last two steps. I lost my balance and fell on my bottom hitting my tailbone, I believe. I am fine when I walk it just hurts when I am sitting up straight and trying to get off the couch, otherwise I am ok. Would you recommend anything. I am a stay at home mom with a 1 year old also email is YYYY@YYYY
