Hello,
Sucralfate and ranitidine will cover part of stomach inflammation to heal, but many times the pain is there from the neuritic pathway. In our clinic, we recommend adding antispasmodic medications as dicyclomine or drotaverine for better pain recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
