Swollen eye after surgery

DS had fairly major jaw surgery 9 days ago. He face was pretty swollen and bruised, but has settled down over the last 2/3 days, to the extent that he was happy to go out and about yesterday - so pretty well recovered - only puffy so that those who know him would realise it wasn't his 'normal' face.

He's woken up this morning with a swelling under one eye - like he's been in a fight. I've checked with the hospital, and they've asked me to phone at lunchtime, to let them know if it's gone down at all. He's not got a temperature.

I don't need to panic do I?!!! I'm just being a pathetic mother???

I would take him back to the hospital. It could be bleeding or an infection but it definitely needs to be seen.
