Hi,
If bone is broken this complains remains for long time.
In soft tissue injury, infection is likely.
Go for x-ray thumb and confirm that fracture is there or not.
If there is no fracture then go for regular dressing with antibiotic cream and take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines after consulting your doctor.
You can apply ice pack 2-3 times a day.
Ok and take care.
