Does Oxycodone Withdrawal Cause Night Sweats And Confusion?

My child had tonsils, adenoids out, ear tubes in 9 days ago. Docs prescribed ocycodone for pain. My child is 3.5 yrs old. I gave it to him once/day for first three nights, then once on dsy 6 and not at all since then. We are going on day 10 and he’s having major night sweats, confusion, agitation.Could this be withdrawal from oxycodone? What can I do about it to help him? Thanks!
