Treated with two lots of keflex subsided but not completely about a week ago pain is back again although not as severe as is swelling also not as severe

I think if you have tried a self medication it is never advisable. kindly meet a physician close by and get it chekced. Mean time you can try contrast bath starting with hot water and ending with hot water. Try performing some small finger strengthening exercises by using a tennis ball for strengthening the thumb muscles. you should be fine if done properly.
