How is Helicobacter pylori treated and what medication is used?

Patient's question:

8th: C14 thorough check result: Positive ++ dpm=0840. Currently treating with traditional Chinese medicine. What to do?

Doctor's answer:

Diet should be based on light, easy-to-digest, and nutritious foods. Avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, foods that are difficult to absorb, and extremely cold or hot foods. To eradicate Helicobacter pylori, take Amoxicillin 0.75g three times a day and Clarithromycin 0.6g twice a day, alternating for 10 to 14 days. Alternatively, take Amoxicillin 0.75g three times a day and Metronidazole tablets 0.4g three times a day, alternating for 10 to 14 days. Consult and coordinate with each other. Antacids may reduce the effectiveness. Omeprazole 20mg per capsule.
