Swelling around the episiotomy stitch line indicates inflammation which could be due to infection caused due to urine outflow or vaginal discharge, which in turn can delay the healing process and cause pain and discomfort. Suggest give her some antiinflammatory Medicines combined with Antibiotics to help her to heal amicably and quickly.
