An esophageal ulcer can be painful. Fortunately, medications and lifestyle changes can help you recover from an esophageal ulcer. Treatment of an esophageal ulcer depends on the cause. If your ulcer is caused by an infection with h. Pylori, for example, you may be asked to take prescribed antibiotics to kill the bacteria. If your ulcer is caused by nsaid use, you may be asked to stop taking nsaids, a different pain medication can also be prescribed. Untreated ulcers can lead to serious complications, such as a bleeding ulcer or an esophageal perforation (hole in the esophagus). They can also cause scarring and narrowing of the esophagus.
