How do you know that there is a hole in your stomach.Its not possible as this would have resulted in leaking of stomach contents into peritonial cavity which would result in severe sepsis and may be fatal in a day or two if not treated.
Stomach contents can't reach leg via stomach.
Don't worry take a Tablet of Prizolec 40 mg once daily for 3 days and you would be ok.
