I have a sprained thumb (grade ii or iii, never specified the extent of the tear), and it will randomly get hot to the touch and feel hot. it is still swollen a week after the injury if that matters?

: What you described is more than a sprain. The symptoms warrant examination in person. If you do not have access to a doctor, go to the ER of a nearby hospital to avoid permanent injury to your hand.
