Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you should get it reviewed for any signs of local infection however with discomfort in throat and wierded sensation all over body after thorn prick needs to be assessed as soon as possible to rule tetanus though very less likely but should be ruled out.
I suggest taking medical facility ER follow up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
