Hi thanks for asking question.
If stitches are infected then discharge from there occur along with erythema to that area.
Better to start antibiotic prophylaxis for 7 days.
Within few days stich will dissolve.
In between avoid stress.
Avoid straining while defection.
Take stool softener if needed.
Drink more water and fruit juice.
Avoid spicy food.don't worry.
You will be alright.for pain relief take analgesic.thanks
