Use ice and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
You can use ice compresses on the thumb you hurt in order to reduce pain and swelling.
Use anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
If pain is very strong and you can't move it as usual you may need to do a x-ray to check if it is broken.
