This is an infection at the pulp of your finger, probably following some trauma to the finger (like thorn prick).

you will need to take antibiotics to subside your condition, along with NSAIDs for the pain and swelling.

It is an infection in the nail bed.
You have to take antibiotics and pain killers for 3-4 days.
The infection will localise and then it will have to be drained.
Please consult with a General Surgeon in your area
