Not at all unusual for PGlets to be intense in their exhibition of their stress reactions. Also mot unusual for them to find Preschool Unbearable.....asynchrony is so difficult for all involved. Great that you pulled him and I hope for a speedy recovery. A trip to the doctor seems wise if sympotoms last more than another week.
I would keep a daily journal and rate the symptoms daily because their may bne set backs and it may be seasonal to some extent.
As for pull ups I would ask myself....
1) Young 3 or almost 4
2) Would it help me be a pleasanter person to be around?
3) Was he fully trained or just a bit trained before this started.
It is perfectly fine to announce a 'potty vacation' and back off especially if he is less than a third of the way toward his 4th birthday.

OTOH if you haven't established a relationship with an IQ tester/psychologist and you can afford to, now is a great time to call Ruf or Yermish or Amend and have a professional availible to help you keep an eye on things. It would be nice to get a bedtine routine that works for the whole family. If it is possible.
Love and more love
