DS14 just had his done 2weeks ago. The first afternoon was miserable, he was throwing up till midnight(surgery was at 2). Ask your Dr for some anti-nausea, meds, tigan or something similar that works on the reflex rather than the cause(cause can be swallowing of blood or from the anesthesia). Keep the cheeks iced for 15 min at a time, start with advil for pain, if DD still hurts in an hour give the heavy stuff. Keep the pain meds on a regular schedule, even if she says it doesn't hurt. Day3 and 4 are when the swelling was at its worst, but he was back to eating regular foods on day2 or3. Total recovery time was less than a week and after the first few hours everything was fine, if we had had the anti-nausea meds we would have had no problems at all.
