Hello,
Perhaps there is a low grade infection at the surgery site. I would suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g. either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a few days. You may take an OTC oral anti-inflammatory e.g either Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for symptomatic relief from pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
