Brief Answer:
Drink much water and take tylenol!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

With diarrhea, you could get dehydrated. However, drinking much water is the best way forward. I will suggest that you drink as much water as possible. Are you feeling dizzy? Are you feeling thirsty? Are you urinating normally? These are ways to know whether you are getting dehydrated or not. I suggest that you drink, drink and drink.

For the fever and headache, tylenol 1000mg every 8hours is okay. This is probably a viral infection and fever would broke usually after 3days.

For now, no need seeing doctor. Drinking much fluids is advised. Keep me posted.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
