Suggest Treatment For Splinter Stuck In The Palm Of My Hand

I have a splinter stuck in the palm of my hand. it happened 3 weeks ago and i thought i got it all out but now the area is dark and swollen and hurts badly even if i'm not using it. if it is infected as i assume it is, could it lead to my hand being amputated?
