Patient's question:
Use saliva to test for Helicobacter pylori. I have taken two or three weeks of stomach medicine and antibiotics. How long do I need to continue treatment? What medicine should I take? Please advise the experts. Is it okay to gradually stop medication and focus on dietary adjustment?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires timely treatment. If Helicobacter pylori infection leads to gastritis or gastric ulcer, it is recommended to take Omeprazole + Amoxicillin capsules + Clarithromycin + Debi granules under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, it is necessary to take the medication for 2-4 weeks. Attention should be paid to daily diet and health care, and activities and rest should be adjusted, as well as the mental state. Maintain a regular lifestyle, eat at fixed times and in fixed quantities, avoid smoking and alcohol, and always keep a cheerful mood. Do not have excessive mental stress. The daily treatment for Helicobacter pylori patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, while avoiding alcohol.
