Hello
You are passing through a trauma , initially you operated for metal work removal , got infection , took antibiotics .
These all developed hyperacidity or gastritis and that is main reason of vomiting and stomach pain .
Since you are also complaining of shortness of breath ,this may be due to hyper acidity or forceful vomits .
You should take some proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole-d ,once or twice in day ( although normal dose is once in a day ).
Also take some antacid .
If you got relief in infection stop antibiotics .
You can use local antiseptic solution ,if infection is localized and minor as it will not produce any hyper acidity or gastritis.
Still feel problem or vomiting then consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
