Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe pain in stomach post recovery from a flu which seems to be due to gastroenteritis. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may take X-ray of upper digestive tract and ambulatory acidity test Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antacid. For now avoid eating spicy food and also avoid seafood and nuts. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
