Hello,
It will be wise for him to take the medication for the duration of time his doctor prescribed. But it seems to me he is already on numerous pain killer medications. It will be good to continue the medication for about 3 more days before stopping completely (your doctor's opinion should be sort).
Try to also observe if you still experience any of the above symptoms, if it does reoccur make sure you see a doctor for complete clinical evaluation.
Hope this helps
