See your doctor: Bloating of the stomach for that long could be a more serious problem. See your doctor soon.

Lactose free: Avoid milk sugar products. Lactose intolerance does occur temporarily after a viral infection. Usually it's short lived. Yogurt is tolerated because the bacteria help digest the milk sugar.
