I Had A Bougainville Thorn Stuck In My Thumb. 5

I had a Bougainville thorn stuck in my thumb. 5 days later it got stiff and swelled, and tender with loss of range of motion. Doctor put me on Bactrim for 7days. 5 days into the Bactrim and it is only slightly less swollen. Should I see a hand specialist? Or wait a week and see if it heals?
