My wife had a c section delivery 3 weeks back, she is complaining about pain and swelling around the wound area. is there a pain medication i can use to ease the pain and swelling?

Contact doctor: Pain at the site of incision suggests that there may be infection and it would be prudent to contact her doctor for advice. Taking pain meds may mask the infection. Wish you and your wife good health!

Possible infection: She might have a cellulitis or abscess as she should not have pain now and she needs to see an obgyn immediately
