Take his temperature, if, he has one he may have an infection, call doctor, tell nurse his symtoms.
If you still think he is not doing well, call his doctor again.
Keep him quite with little activity in his room.
Serve him broths, not too hot, ice cream, milkshakes, yogurt, pudding, jello, soup, no chunks.
Cool cloth on forhead and at back of neck.
Use tylenol for pain.
If you think he is still not doing well, make him appointment with doctor.
If appt. is for more than 1 week and he has a fever, take to emergency room.
Mothers are generally right about their feelings when child is sick.
Do not be afraid to be a little pushy if doctor not listening.
Trust yourself, take to emergency room. Better safe than sorry.
You may not understand, but that is no reason to think bably of yourself. Doctor/nurse should have informed you better.
Next time you have a medical problem, ask doctor to give you a print out of instructions.
Look up problem on internet, be sure to put in box: toncilectomy recovery, age 25 years
Try not to communicate to your son that you are worried by crying, frowning, talking about your concerns. Just re assure and encourage him. Lots of fluids, take temperature, keep daily notes of symptoms and care and food. (all soft and not too hot)

Hi thanks for your information he doesn't have a temperature I took it his pain is so bad he first want to drink regularly I did take him to office cause his first med was Tylenol 3 so they changed it to hydrocodone this seems to help him better he sleeps a lot almost through his dose he's upset with me cause I did show concern about it he just got mad so when I read your comment I went in again he didn't get upset just gave him his Gatorade and said you need to hostage your self .. I don't know when I took him home they said he's gonna have some pain and when I called to get different pain meds something stronger they said oh his pain is gonna get worse in the 10-13 day it's gonna be brutal so is it gonna keep getting bad since day one
