Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pain and swelling around the eye after surgery is suggestive of post-operative infection. Take tablet diclofenac and serratiopeptidase 12 hourly, and continue sodium chloride drops.
Consult ophthalmologist who had done your surgery. Swab culture is required to find out causative organism.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Hiren Hirpara
