Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
It may be due to part of thron rests in your finger.
If possible and it is visible than remove it.
If not than consult your surgeon for removal.
Take tablet paracetamol for pain and inflammations.
Apply cold compresses.
For antibiotics, please consult your doctor.
Hope these all will be helpful to you.

Take care...

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that a small aspect of the thorn remained inside the finger. It is possible that there area is infected.
Infection is associated with pain, swelling, redness and increased warmth. Some or all of these may be present.
It would be best to visit your doctor for an assessment.
He or she would determine if any foreign body has been retained and initiate appropriate treatment.
I hope this helps
