Sounds miserable: The most important thing after "extreme diarrhea" is to rehydrate, preferably with an electrolyte solution such as Gatorade or Pedialyte. In general, your malaise & body aches associated with such an episode don't respond that well to acetaminophen/Tylenol or ibuprofen, but you can try it. Lie down in as comfortable position as possible; sip chicken soup. If it keeps going, you need urgent care.
