I wear sandals all the time so I thought maybe a small piece of glass or something. I went on to carefully try to take it out but I didn t see anything there I put antibiotic on it and left it alone but when I woke up it was swollen and infected

Hello
It may be due to allergy or infection.
Swelling and redness may be due to infection more.
Please apply antibiotic cream and leave it open so it will heal fast.
Take pain killers like tab ibuprofen or tab paracetamol will also help in relieving inflamations.
Prevent it from water.
If not cured, consult your doctor.
Take care...
