Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms are most likely a complication of anesthestia. Especially if he has had subarachnoid anesthesia (if there was any injection to his spine). If so, he may have meningitis.
Abdominal issues may be also caused by an abscess in the surgery area.
I suggest your brother to visit his surgeon and consult neurologist. Abdominal ultrasound and spine punction should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
