It is 6 weeks after surgery. Some discharge may come out till wound ie fistula heals.
Pain usually has nothing do with recurrence.
This is too early to comment about recurrence. See what your treating surgeon has to say.
Next Steps
Or you may take expert second opinion.

Laser surgery is not 100% cure, it has it’s own problem. I think fistula has blocked. I suggest to get MRI anus and show the reports to me at my hospital at the earliest. Don’t think you should wait and watch, please don’t use any pain killers, as it can cause kidney problems.
Next Steps
MRI or USG to know how the track is formed, so that he can undergo fistulectomy at the earliest.
