Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to be suffering from three different problems:
• Your periods have not come yet: The medicines you took are not the reasons for the delay in the periods. Please get an ultrasound of the uterus and the ovaries to look for their functions.
• Problems of gas with your stomach: You need to have a healthy balanced diet for this. Stay away from spicy, oily and fried foods, and alcohol and smoking (if you do so).
• Of the stomach virus: I hope it is resolved now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your age and history of menstrual cycle are important. Your problems are chronic gas problem in stomach, not active for the last few months, stomach virus few days back, delayed last period.
Long-term (chronic) gas problem may be due to peptic ulcer, your food and food habits. Change of food and food habits and treatment of peptic ulcer will make you alright.
Delayed period need not be due to stomach virus. Better to wait for few more days.
Not active for so many months may be due to all the 3 medicines you have mentioned.
First, analyze and meditate yourself if you are having depression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
