10 advices on how to calm down peptic ulcer pain
Every time we eat our stomach produces a certain quantity of acid for digesting the food.
This acid is powerful enough to harm the inner layer of the stomach, but thanks to the mucus that surrounds the stomach and duodenum this thing does not normally happen.

1. Take an antacid.
During ulcerous crises, taking an antacid can ease pain fast and efficiently. It is best to ask your doctor fist what type of antacid would suit your case best as some of these drugs can cause constipation (if they have in composition aluminum) and others might cause diarrhea (if they contain magnesium).
2. Reduce the acid production.

Besides using the cough syrups and drugs doctors recommend us, we can also use natural remedies for treating a rebel cough.
