Hi,
As you had normal delivery I think stitches might be due to episiotomy during labor.
There might be having some infection on the part due to part remained unclean due to its position producing some infection.
Now as antibiotic medicine given, within few days infection will be alright.
Go for proper dressing with antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
Ok and take care.
