What Does Several Small Ulcers Seen During Endoscopy Indicate?
my son is 13 years old. He had an endoscopy this weekend and found that he has several small ulcers. The GI doc at the hospital believes it is from prolonged use of NSAIDS. Nexium was given in the hospital. He is now taking prevacid. He is feeling light headed, tired and has a bad headache. Can you help?
