These ulcers are very common. Doctors say that in the United States, almost 1 in every 10 people will get an ulcer at some time during their lives.

Ulcers are caused by a bacteria that everyone has in their stomach! It's called Heliocobacter pylori.

To treat them you usually just take antacids. Or antibiotics are prescribed to kill the H. pylori bacteria. She should be fine!

She has a small hole in either her upper small intestine, esophagus or lining of her stomach area. She'll be alright but she most likely will need to take antibiotics and acid blockers. People with ulcers have to generally watch what they eat. If it isn't too bad it can heal with the treatment of antibiotics and other medicines.
