Hi,
Sometimes one or two bits of suture material got stuck inside and causing pain.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. You can go for an ultrasound scan for further assessment.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
