Stomach ulcers in children are not contagious

Stomach ulcers in children are generally not contagious. Gastric ulcer is a chronic inflammatory defect that occurs in the mucosa of the stomach lining and is a digestive disease.

1. Contagious conditions

1. Helicobacter pylori infection: If a child is infected with Helicobacter pylori, it may cause an inflammatory reaction in the stomach, and when examined, an ulcer surface in the stomach can be found. At this time, parents should take protective measures to avoid sharing utensils with the child, and also pay attention to food hygiene to avoid cross-infection.

2. Non-contagious conditions

Gastric ulcer is a common digestive disorder caused mainly by excessive gastric acid secretion or Helicobacter pylori infection.When there is too much gastric acid secretion, it can cause irritation to the gastric mucosa, which can cause gastric ulcers. After Helicobacter pylori infection, it can also cause damage to the gastric mucosa, thus inducing the disease. Neither condition is spread by contact, so it is not contagious to others.

It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time, and drugs such as omeprazole enteric-coated tablets and rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules can be taken under the guidance of doctors to inhibit gastric acid secretion. If necessary, antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules and cefixime granules can also be used as prescribed by the doctor to control the infection. In daily life, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to focus on light and easy-to-digest food, and eat millet porridge, pumpkin porridge and other foods appropriately.
