Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It can be an infection of the mesh. I suggest you to consult a surgeon for a physical examination. If the diagnosis is confirmed antibiotics are needed to treat the symptoms. Meanwhile you can take painkillers for the pain such as Ibuprofen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
