Hi,
Erection while sleeping is normal in this age group- nothing to worry. The pain is due to stretching of the surgical wound site during erection, and will come down as the wound heals. You can give him paracetamol suspension 2-3 times a day for 3 days to relieve pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
