Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic,
This looks like sprain of the wrist as well as strain of the tendons going to the thumb.

Sprain of the wrist is a problem which which takes time to get to normal and if no rest is taken then it prolong unexpectedly long.

Treatment:
1) wrist brace for 3 weeks
2) cold packs everyday
