Possible tendinitis: It is difficult to be precise without an exam. It may be a tendinitis.

Not sure: Sounds like a wrist problem from hyper-extension during the push up. Try taping the wrist for stability, or doing your push ups with a neutral grasp around a pain of dumb bells. If your problem persists, get examined by a musculoskeletal physician or team trainer. Good luck.
