I had a hernia repair 3 months ago i started coughing and now my surgery site is swollen, a little hard and soft. did i re tare it again ?

See your surgeon: Very important to see your surgeon soon. If you were doing well and now feel swollen again 3 months after the surgery, it could well be that the repair failed. Make sure you see your surgeon soon. All best!
