Brief Answer:
infected

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It is looking infected.
Only dipping in water won't help.
You need a course of antibiotics.
I usually suggest tab augmentin in such cases and have seen excellent response.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Abscess

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Amoxycillin clavnate is same as Augmentin.
Probably there is some pus inside and it needs to be drained.
Antibiotics usually don't work when there is abscess.
Please meet a doctor and get it examined.
