my son had an appendectomy on Tuesday evening. he is 10--came home yesterday evening and couldnt tolerate pain meds (I hope that is what it is) I stopped giving to him at 10 AM as he threw up 4 times since waking at 8 am. he has no appetite --no fever and terrible headaches--called the surgeon and he thinks it was the pain medication lortab elixir making him sick..but says it could be an abscess and if he is still vomitting tomorrow to bring him back to ER...what about the headaches?
Good day, and thanks for your question. Please kindly take him to the ER as soon as possible. The headache could be as a result of the effect from the anesthesia during the surgery or as a result of the abscess too, and pain medications will help him. If he's still vomiting kindly take him to the ER where he will be given pain injections and injections to stop the vomiting and treat the abscess. Hope it helps. Thank you.
