Peptic Ulcer
Peptic Ulcer
CAUSES
DIAGNOSTIC
Because childhood ulcers are shallow, they may not show up well on
radiography. In many children, little increase in gastric activity can be
demonstrated by gastric analysis. Children with this condition must have
blood tests done periodically to be monitored for blood loss anemia.
MANAGEMENT
Children with peptic ulcer disease are treated with a combination of
medications to reduce the bacteria count and suppress gastric acidity
CONCLUSION
Having peptic ulcer disease can be difficult for children because it is painful,
and remembering to take medicine daily may be a problem.
