You could try bathing it with saline - it does look a bit infected. And see if it improves. It may not be infected - it may be just scabbed over secretions.

To bathe with saline just dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a pint of boiling water and let it go cold - or nearly cold - only just tepid. And gently dab it with a cotton bud or the corner of a soft cloth - not too wet though so as not to soak her.
