Hello,
Ulcer in the stomach can be dangerous if its perforates.You need to take her to see a doctor so that prescription medicines can be given to her.Avoid painkillers,caffeine,alcohol,spicy,oily food.She needs a bland diet.Start tablet omeprazole/pantoprezole before meals.If the pain is severe and doesnt respond to medicines,she may need an endoscopy to determine site and severity of the ulcer.
