Brief Answer:
Can be sign of local inflammation or infection

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, it can be early sign of local inflammation or infection which can be triggered by cyst removal and OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used for symptomatic relief however lymph drainage issues due to anatomical structural variation or post surgery is a rare side effect.

A review by the surgeon should also have been done. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards
