HI!
I appreciate your effort in seeking medical help in such a distress.
Well, going by the symptom you are having, the swelling could be local edema or induration or
collection(if no fever then ruled out) or incisional hernia and to reach at final diagnosis you have to
see the concerned doctor...
wish your daughter a speedy recovery.

Hi
Bulge at the incision line can be due to serous collection or pus.
As it is soft and not painful,it can be serous collection only.
It has to be aspirated or let it drain by small incision.
Please take Antibiotic and anti inflammatory drug
Nothing to worry
It will subside
Wish you good health
