What Causes Swelling Of The Head After A Surgery?

My son had surgery on his head above his eye to remove what through his lifetime was called a cyst. After removing it sight seemed to heal pretty well. 4 weeks later his head is swelled worse than before the surgery eye swells shut. The original surgeon says he doesn t know what the problem is now and actually doesn t seem to care any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having infection at operating site or might be having recurring of cyst.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
If there is no recovery, consult surgeon and rule out possibility of recurring cyst formation.
Ok and take care.
