I burnt my thumb while cooking 2 days ago and now i have a penny sized blister. is there anything i can do to hasten the healing of the blister?

Nothing...: I'm afraid, It will heal in its own time. Don't pop the blister, but if it pops on its own, you may cover it with a bandage.

Burn treatment: 1st degree burns involve only the top layer of skin and generally appear as a red patch, similar to a sunburn. treatment is supportive (cool water, OTC pain meds). 2nd degree burns are deeper, very painful, and blister. treatment is aimed at pain relief and preventing infection with Rx Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine). 3rd degree burns are very severe, painless and usually require treatment from a burn center.
