There was a sewage leak under my trailer house the owner simply placed a new floor over the soaked floor. I still smell sewage in my bedroom which is next to the bathroom. Can this cause my to have health problems?

Not likely... inhailing fresh sewer gas over a long term is not the same as a slight lingering odor.

The lingering odor isn't harmfull, it just smells bad... but an active sewer gas leak is a different thing and can be with enough exposure.

I agree with Smoothy. Give it a chance to dry out and I'll bet the smell's gone. Good luck, Tom
