What Causes Diarrhea , Vomiting And Sore Throat?

Son left school with diarrhea and vomiting. Also has a sore throat. School nurse says tonsils are red and a little swollen. Sounds virus-related to me so I wanted to give him a few hours to see if he feels better since his fever is only 99.5. Any big red flags that should warrant an immediate trip to doctor where he d likely be exposed to other illnesses and exposing others to him?
