Bathing it with salt water won’t do any harm but make sure you don’t get her too wet. Just dab it with a slightly wet cotton bud or corner of a soft cloth. I wouldn’t clean her cage. It might need antibiotics though if it’s an abscess so best to contact the vet. The infection could be inside and coming out and females can get pyometra.
