Hi.
Thanks for your query.
If the Local Doctors have said it to be an ulcer as suspected I would advise you to go for upper GI Endoscopy so that a Gastric ulcer or cancer can be seen or ruled out.
Since the blood tests and CT scan abdomen is normal, this is the possibility; another is gastrointestinal infection.
Consult a Gastroenterologist if the routine treatment does not help.
