Hi,
If wound has healed properly, then it may not need treatment.
If swelling is present at the site of infection, then you may need to be examined for collection or hematoma. Please get ultrasound abdomen done to find the cause for swelling and then consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
