Brief Answer:
Take Tylenol and monitor only for now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I will suggest that you take tylenol only at this time and monitor. Your history sounds like a viruses going around the household. It will be difficult identifying it but hygienic measures of regular hand washing, food hygiene an drinking safe water would help control any infection even if the exact cause is not known. For diarrhea, drink much fluids as replacing lost fluids and electrolytes is capital.

I wish you well.
