Brief Answer:
It can be a common cold or flu.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I believe the symptoms you are currently having are not much related to ulcer. They seem like the symptoms of a cold or flu.
For the symptoms of fever and temperature I can advise you to use Tylenol or acetaminophen since ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are not recommended in case of stomach ulcera.
Your doctor may have adviced you to do further tests such helicobacter pylori test (the main bacteria causing stomach ulcera) and gasteoscopy (camera tube) to see the mucosa linning conditions.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
