Ulcer or something else ?
I was having burning sensation in upper middle abdomen so my gastroenterologist gave me medicine for ulcer and indigestion . I took the medicine for 1 month and now the symptoms are - I have mild burning sensation for 2-3 minutes after I eat anything sour or spicy . What does this mean ? Did the ulcer heal or not ?
