Hi. It depends on exact cause of your pain in stomach to decide whether it's due to infection or inflammation. If its due to infection then antibiotics have role but if it's simple inflammatory response like gastritis etc then antibiotics have less role. All this is to be decided by doing usg abdomen, blood tests and clinical examination. It's very difficult to comment on use of antibiotics in your case so better to get investigations done also.
