Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

You have thyroglossal cyst. You have gone for surgery to remove it. Post surgery swelling may be due to hematoma or edema. So don't worry much about that. Just wait for few days. If it remains persistent or increased further then consult your doctor and plan accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
