An #Ulcer is just a wound on the inside of the stomach. To treat it, you would need to remove what is causing the wound and reduce the acid in the stomach so it can heal.

Your stomach secretes an acid known as gastric acid with a pH of less than 3.5 enough to burn through your skin, why doesnt this burn your stomach? (Dm me for answers)
When you get infected with H Pylori, it can survive the harsh environment of the stomach by netutralizing the acid around it
This H Pylori can be gotten from contaminated water, utensils and even from the saliva of infected persons. Careful who you kiss

#Alcohol also irritates the lining of the stomach and but there is little evidence that it may directly lead to ulcers, same for #caffeine and #smoking.
If the cause is an infection, your doctor will treat that infection with #antibiotics and #drugs that reduce the acid and protect your stomach.
There will be tests to confirm that you have an infection, questions and examinations to determine the exact cause of your ulcer
