Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare magic.
With this presentation, I think peptic ulcer disease is the diagnosis. In a majority of people, it is caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. Since you have taken antibiotics for 14 days, I would suggest that you take proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec OTC) and antacids for about a month. You also need to adopt some life style changes like avoiding alcohol, caffeine-containing foods and fatty foods.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
I wish you good health
