I guess it just stays there.. You always need to remove it because it may get infected.
No. The body will reject the splinter by forming a fistulous sack around it, and eventually it will come to the skin surface. Then it will be easily removed or come out by its self.

Well, it depends. Sometimes splinters can get infected and mess up your foot. But usually nothing happens. You can get a splinter that's under your skin out by soaking it with warm/hot water. If the area where the splinter was is red, tender, and/or hurts really badly, it is probably infected and you should call a doctor to get it out.

How do you remove splinters?
Alright, first and foremost, be very careful about this. Take a knife, needle or something sharp (make sure its been sterilised) enough to cut just a little into the skin where the splinter is. Try to make the point of the knife wedge out the splinter very carefully. If the splinter is all the way in your skin try that procedure. If some of it is sticking out, take some tweezers and just take it out. Hope that helps!

Anything effervescent works. Add some Epson salts, or Berroca to a bowl of warm water and soak the splinter for a couple of minutes while the water is still fizzing. The splinter should loosen and you should be able to squeeze it out quite easily.
