Why Did My 9 Years Old Had Stomach Pain After Having Tylenol?

My son is 9. He had a headache and I gave him Tylenol. A half hour later he began complaining of a stomache ache. I gave him pepto. He was crying that he didn t know if he was going to vomit. He said it just hurt bad. He finally fell asleep and did not vomit. Could it be gas? Or should I be prepared for him to wake up after the Tylenol wears off?
