The doctors are right. Right now, all you can do is to listen to what the doctors say, remain patient and try to keep your son as comfortable as you can. It will be hard but rest assured that it will all pass and things will get better. It is important for you and your husband to keep calm especially in front of your son. If he sees you stressed out, he will get more fussy too.
For now, maybe you can keep him distracted with things he love. A kid I used to babysit for the summer had her fingers slammed shut in the door's hinge while playing with her brother and she was pretty much hysterical for a few days straight. Her mom usually doesn't allow for prolonged use of electronics but she made an exception for this instance.

Maybe you can try something similar? Till then, take care and try to get some rest yeah, Mommy? I pray your son will get better soon.
