Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On Thumb

Facts:
I play rugby and hurt my thumb a month ago. I do not think this is very serious but still my thumb is swollen, painful when I try to catch something and I can not bend it over 90 degrees.

My questions:
How do I know if it is a sprain, fracture or something else ? After how long my thumb will Fully Recover?
