Can taking medication heal a stomach ulcer?

Patient's question:

With gastric ulcer, even after taking medication, I still feel belching and a sensation of something stuck, such as compound bismuth aluminum and aluminum magnesium hydroxide?

Doctor's answer:

Since gastric ulcer is a chronic disease and prone to recurrence, it is necessary to tolerate long-term medication for it to heal completely. Never stop taking medication abruptly if symptoms improve slightly, and never switch medications frequently—taking one for a few days and then switching to another when symptoms are not stable. Generally, a course of treatment requires medication for 4 to 6 weeks, and even after pain relief, stable treatment for 1 to 3 months—or even longer—is needed. Omeprazole capsules are commonly used to treat gastric ulcers. In addition to timely treatment, patients with gastric ulcers should maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer will assist you.
