How long will it take for a stomach ulcer to heal?

If the patient's symptoms are relatively mild and the individual's physical constitution is relatively good, after taking omeprazole enteric-coated tablets, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, the effect of clinical cure may be achieved in about a month. However, if the patient's symptoms are more severe and the individual's physical condition is relatively poor, the recovery will be relatively slow, and it may take two months or more to get better.
