What is Peptic Ulcer in Children?
An ulcer is an open, painful wound. Peptic ulcers can form in the stomach or over the upper region of the small intestine called duodenum. An ulcer in the stomach is known as gastric ulcer and an ulcer in the duodenum is called as duodenal ulcer. Both can occur when the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum get weakened and acid enters into the lining. This can lead to the formation of an ulcer. Peptic ulcer refers to both these types of ulcers. People of any age like children, young adults or even old people can get affected with peptic ulcer. In Ayurveda, similar condition is explained as Amlapitta.
