Had wrist cut 3 stitches 1month and a half later hand swells up and pain had xray waiting for results in short what could it be and what to do thank y?

Wrist pain: If the sutures had healed well then chances of infection at that site are low. But if there is swelling, pain, redness, discharge then likely it is infection. X-ray can also help to see if there is underlying arthritis.
