Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic ulcers are often caused by an infection of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. Antibiotics are the best course of action to treat the source of the ulcers. While antacids and acid blockers can help relieve symptoms, they do not address the underlying cause. Reducing stress and changing the diet may also be helpful in preventing ulcers, but they will not be enough to treat existing ulcers caused by an H. pylori infection.
