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.
