Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
As it is just 3 days post-tonsillectomy, he should be admitted for observation, intravenous fluids and antibiotics, observation , preparation for unseen emergency and all .
The stomach pain and vomiting can be due to irritation, unable to accept something which you might have given orally such as a particular thing to drink or eat/ viral infection and so on.
Vomiting in this recovery phase is very bad as the stomach contents spoil the healing tonsillar fossae. Can cause infection, bleeding and so on.
Insist on admission to the hospital.
