Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Thumb

I got my right thumb mashed really bad on Saturday. Monday it started swelling and throbbing and today it is swollen and throbbing really bad. I have been putting a ice pack and taking ibphrophen. Is there anything I can do different. I have a metal splint on it and I figure that is all the doctor would do.
