What Causes Vomiting And Diarrhea?

vomiting and diarrhea
My son turned 3 in august. So i think it was mid/end of september or first october her started complaining about his tummy hurting. He complains a few times a day everyday. I took him to the pediatricians office and he had strep throat and i was told that was probably why his tummy hurts and it would get better when he got over strep. I had them give him a shot for strep because i am very bad at remembering medicines. He still complains about his tummy. I thought it maybe hurting when he needed to go to the bathroom maybe a little constipation but ive noticed it still hurts after he has a bowel movement. 2 or 3 nights ago he woke up and vomited a few times. Then went back to sleep. He has said his tummy hurts but no vomiting until early this morning. He had diarrhea twice yesterday and once after he vomited this morning. It was very liquidy. He hasnt had fever but has been very fussy and clingy the last few weeks. No changes in his diet. And for the most part he hasnt slowed down in his usual activities. He has been in tears over his tummy and i dont know what we need to do. I havent noticed his urine smelling too bad. It has once or twice in the last couple of months and he did tell me a couple of days ago that his back and head hurts. But i thought it maybe bc he slept funny. Could this just be stomach virus or something more serious? What could possibly be the problem and do i need to take him to the pediactric clinic or hospital?
