Pain in Thumb finger
I have a severe pain in thumb finger since 2 weeks no casualty, I feel pain when I press the nail and while folding the finger and there is mild swelling as well. I met physician but no infection was traced. I met ortho and conducted blood test and suggested to use vitamin b12 tablets (Benstrong). But still I feel the pain from inside like burning sensation and inflammation kind of pain. Could you please suggest what kind of medication is required.

It could be a glomus tumor. That would cause symptoms as described. It needs clinical examination and investigations.
Next Steps
Please visit an Orthopedic surgeon.

Your symptoms are similar to paronychia, which is an infection around nail bed. I would recommend you to dip your thumb in warm/hot water daily for few days.
Also is there any redness or swelling particularly around nail bed?
Next Steps
Get an X-ray if possible. You can get an online consultation with me once the X-ray is done.
