Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Prilosec is the right treatment for ulcer.
It lowers the level of acidity in the stomach and helps in treating the ulcer
I also recommend using antacids to neutralise the acidity in the stomach.
I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
