Hello,
You may take acetaminophen (Tylenol) together with aleve for the pain as they are generally drugs of different classes and will help better alleviate the pain.
On the other hand acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not a drug that irritates the stomach much so very likely you will tolerate it well. You should take them after some food to help reduce nausea, especially because aleve is an NSAID drug and may irritate your stomach.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
