Bread poultice is good for that. But I think the OP had already got the
thorn out - his problem is whatever muck the thorn carried in with it.

Yes, I didn't read the bit about the thorn coming out until later.

An old poultice I remember my grandmother using was a "soap and sugar"
poultice. Seems a bit bizarre but apparently it worked well.
