Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think it should be a peptic ulcer. I would suggest that she tries omeprazole (Prilosec over-the-counter) in association with antacids for about a month. Also, she may need to avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, pepper, caffeine-containing foods like chocolate, and alcohol.
She might also need a prescription of antibiotics from a doctor to eradicate the bacteria that is often responsible. I believe this would help her if she tries.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish her good health
