I'm sorry to hear that Murphy is not feeling well. It's hard to know without seeing him in person, but it could be allergies or an infection or possibly something stuck in them like you mentioned. If he is so uncomfortable that he's limping, I would take him to your family veterinarian. They may need to probe the wounds or take a small sample of the surface and look under the microscope to determine what is causing it and then make treatment recommendations from there.
