Hello,

There are many reasons for stomachache but according to details given in your question, it may be due to ulcers in stomach or any infection. Usually ulcers get treated by some antacids and dietary modifications. in some cases ulcers are caused by bacteria (H. Pylori).

These ulcers can not be treated by traditional ulcer treatment. they need a combination of antibiotics and antacids. It can also be possible that stomachache is caused by completely different reason.

As you said it's already been a week and half since problem started, it's important now to consult a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shashank Verma
