Patient's question:
Treating Helicobacter pylori with azithromycin and tinidazole causes severe stomach discomfort. Switching to clarithromycin and amoxicillin might also lead to discomfort in the stomach. What should I do? Last week, taking ornidazole and levofloxacin didn't cause such severe discomfort. I have been taking antibiotics for Helicobacter pylori for nine days. Can I stop the antibiotics and just take stomach medication? Is that okay?Doctor's answer:
Due to gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, a triple therapy is generally used to completely eradicate Helicobacter pylori. It is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department of a regular hospital for follow-up examination and careful diagnosis. If the diagnosis confirms that Helicobacter pylori has been killed, you can take stomach medicine for conditioning.Patients with Helicobacter pylori can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding standard medical treatment. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily dietary habits and never overindulge in food or drinks.
