Diarrhoea bug? Or something else

DS3 became unwell 3 days ago with a high temp, faster than usual breathing and he was just very tired. With calpol he soldiered on and was still playing, eating, drinking. He was quite grumpy and emotional.

No other symptoms like a cough or cold.

Yesterday he had no appetite from afternoon and by night he started to have terrible diarrhoea. He's had 6 episodes. It's a very strong horrible smell. He's also been quite tender anywhere on his body, saying 'oww' a lot and looks kind of stiff when he's walking about.

He's just having a nap. He's been eating and drinking well again today. I'm on the fence whether to see a doctor? Just wondered if anyone has had similar or knows what it could be?

Poor chap. 😒

The stiffness & tenderness would worry me, along with the fast breathing and tiredness. I'd definitely call 111

Well the fast breathing was on the first night when he had a v high temp and he was asleep (in my bed). I read online it can happen when fighting infection. That's stopped now but he just seems generally sore and achey. I will probably call 111 and they'll tell me to take him to out of hours.
