This is a reaction to the glass being in there. I think it will continue along the course and come to a head. At this point you need to sterilize a needle or a safety pin, let it cool and prick it at the center. You should be able to gently squeeze it out.

It sounds like the glass is still in your foot and it is getting "nasty".
If you don't have anyone who can look at it and pull it out, you might need to see a doctor/clinic and get it removed.
If it is out, then it sounds like you've got an infection...see a doc.

the glass is still probably in there. you need to see a doctor as soon as you can because a friend of mine did that same thing and just missed the nerves in her foot. you need to get your foot checked ASAP.
