Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Antibiotic can cause yeast infection as it can cause damage to good bacteria of the mouth along with the harmful ones and can cause overgrowth to the opportunistic organisms like yeast.
As it is now along time you have left taking antibiotic, you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.
You can be advised a course of antifungal medicine like Fluconazole and along with it gargle with Nystatin mouthwash.
Such Clotrimazole lozenges.
Continue taking Probiotics like Yogurt and garlic.
As far as stomach ulcer is concerned, if you do not have any symptoms then you need not to worry about it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
