Hello,
Pain and swelling may be due to Infection or bone injury or due to tendinitis etcetera. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid using the right hand, use a cold compress, elevate the limb. Painkillers are useful if symptoms not improved.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
