He can get through this just fine, but you should take him to the vet. The swollen toe needs to be lanced to remove the puss and the vet may prescribe oral antibiotics depending on how bad the infection is.
Foot problems are not uncommon in jacksons, but if they are healthy otherwise it can heal up just fine.

I would have to agree. It also looks like your cham may have lost a claw or two.

Take a look at this post re my jackson. He has had a whole bunch of claws ripped out. I found that if you provide a lot of interior climbing stuff, it will minimize the screen climbing which is where he lost he claw.

If there is still an open wound or anything you can start treating with some kind of antibiotic ointment on the wound site. but that foot will need to be seen by a vet.

Hope that helps..
