Unusual severe pain from paper cut?

My boyfriend cut the top of his thumb with a paper like slice, not deep at all, and has been experiencing a bad throbbing pain that keeps him awake. He has been soaking in in peroxide and witchazel. Is this normal or is there something else we can do to help the pain? Thank you!!

    Are you sure he doesn't have infection. Is the site red. If he is having such severe pain with a paper cut then he needs to see a doctor. Don't use witch hazel,either it has some oil in it. Lay off the Peroxide and try some Neosporin ointment.
