Swap it out with the spare, put it in the boot and back to the tyre dealer. You can't repair it yourself. It'll either be damaged (puncture etc) or a manufacturing defect. A puncture away from the sidewall can be repaired cheaply (about £5). Puncture on (or close) to sidewall cannot be repaired and the tyre is scrap.
If its a faulty tyre then the dealer should swap it for free.
