It sounds like you may have chronic gastritis or a stomach ulcer from your recent illness. You can try probiotics and nexium until you can see your doctor. You should be worked up for H. Pylori infection. The treatment is antibiotics for 7-14 days. Unfortunately, this is a type of bacterial infection that usually does not go away until you treat it.
