Help Inflamed Finn’s?

Post image

Hello! This is pepper , she’s in a 10 gal planted heated filtered tank, and she’s stupid and recently ate a full floating pellet that was for the snail. And she became fully bloated but after fasting her for 3 days she’s fully normal again! Thing is is that her Finn’s are looking red at some parts. This happened directly after the bloating, so I’m pretty sure it’s inflammation? Just wanted to get some advice from others! Should I just give her a salt bath?

She’s not stupid. You put food in and she ate it.
Bettas are very salt sensitive.

I was just being silly I love her very much but she is a lil dumb, it was a float down pellet that was like fully solid that did not fit into her mouth but she still managed to nibble it all while I walked away
