What Causes Relapse Of Intestinal Ulcer?
Hello dear Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com I have evaluated your query for your daughter thoroughly . * The cause of ulcer seems other than TB , as it must have healed by that duration of the course of ATT . * For considering it as CD or other inflammatory issue , management depends upon the symptoms , co relation with reports . Hope this clears your doubt . Wishing you fine recovery . Welcome for any further assistance . Regards dear take care .
