Hi,
You can spray diclofenac containing solution over sprain part to get relief from pain and for soothing. I suggest you take a five day course of anti-inflammatory drugs like brufen or chymotrypsin for seven days.
Don't strain the affected thumb more by applying splint to that. Ice wrapped cloth also can be applied.
You can Consult a nearby orthopedic surgeon for detailed evaluation. You can upload a photo of the x-ray to comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
