Stomach ulcers is not an "adult disease". Children can also develop stomach ulcers. Why do children develop stomach ulcers? Researchers are not sure of the exact reason children develop stomach ulcers. Unlike adults who develop stomach ulcers mostly as a result of a h. pylori infection, children do not ususally develop stomach ulcers because of h. pylori infections. It is believed that many children develop stomach ulcers as a result of medication. What to do if your child has a stomach ulcer If your child is diagnosed with an h. pylori-related ulcer, make sure that your chld takes all of the antibiotics as directed by the doctor. Follow the instructions that the doctor has given you even if the symptoms have disappeared. If the symptoms are no longer present, it doesn't mean that the infection is gone. If your child has a medicine-related ulcer, her doctor will tell you to avoid the medications that caused the ulcer, including any medication containing ibuprofen or aspirin. Also, be sure to give your child the medication prescribed by the doctor. Back to Stomach Ulcers	Featured Book
