hi, thanks for using HCM.
Analgesics will be given after a major surgery to reduce pain, vomiting is a common side effect some of analgesic. not to worry, Antiemetics are useful to reduce vomiting. Puss formation near stitches are seen in few patients, needs proper antibiotic treatment based on pus culture and sensitivity.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
