I'd have him checked out by a vet today. When cats get into fights with other cats, they typically get bit and cats have a lot of bacteria in their mouth. Their bites lead to abscesses, which are painful for the cat and make them unwell. Having Tommy checked out by a vet today is the best thing for him. I hope this helps!
