Natural or home remedies would not cure acute and throbbing pain. I still suggest you to rely on conventional pain killers. If it is throbbing pain, the pulp space inside the thumb is compromised and hindering the blood and nerve supply. It needs to be released soon. The pain killers will only address the symptom but not the cause.
