Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Treatment of peptic ulcer will depend on caustive agent.
Mostly peptic ulcer is caused by an Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection, & Overuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Since Overuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause stomach ulcer, they are not recommended to patient having ulcers.
In case a Helicobacter pylori infection course of antibiotics(metronidazole) and proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole is recommended.
If your stomach ulcer is just caused by taking NSAIDs, a course of proton pump inhibitor is recommended. Your use of NSAIDs will also be reviewed, and taking an alternative painkiller may be advised.
Other medicines that can be used are
1. H2-receptor antagonists (ranitidine)also like proton pump inhibitors work by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
2.Antacids and alginates- they work by neutralizing the acid.
With treatment, most ulcers heal in a month or two.
Visit a gastrointestinal specialist for help
Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved
