Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The stitches (6 in no.) which were given on the inside are given using catgut which dissolves over a period of time. At times they may get infected which must be giving rise to the bubble being described by you. I suggest that you consult your doctor who may tease the area and remove the offending stitch if it is there.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your child an early recovery.
