Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query for your daughter thoroughly .

* The cause of ulcer seems other than TB , as it must have healed by that
duration of the course of ATT .

* For considering it as CD or other inflammatory issue , management
depends upon the symptoms , co relation with reports .

Hope this clears your doubt .
Wishing you fine recovery .

Welcome for any further assistance .
Regards dear take care .
