Patient's question:
Nine-year-old boy, 10 days ago had abdominal pain, diagnosed with: ascites, cystitis.Doctor's answer:
Infants with acute ulcers combined with bleeding can receive blood transfusions and close monitoring. Those with perforation require immediate surgical intervention for suturing. Older children are suitable for conservative medical treatment. Mild cases can be managed with dietary methods, focusing on soft or easily digestible foods, and small, frequent meals. Avoid acidic and irritating foods. Children with recurrent ulcers who do not respond to medical therapy or have ulcer perforation should undergo surgical treatment. Postoperative growth and development in children are not affected.
