How long does it take to treat Helicobacter pylori?

Patient's question:

Last week, I had a C14 test at the hospital, the kind where you blow into a tube. The doctor said I have a Helicobacter pylori infection and prescribed a week's worth of medication. He told me to go back for refills after finishing it, but the medication he prescribed is quite expensive—three types of medicine cost around 300 to 400 yuan. I feel much better now, with no belching, bloating, or bad breath. Do I still need to focus on treatment?

Doctor's answer:

You may be experiencing symptoms such as chronic gastritis and poor gastric motility. If this condition persists for a long time, it is still recommended to undergo a proper endoscopy examination, which is quite necessary. It is important to adjust your diet, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, as well as a liquid diet. Xihua Weikangling can alleviate discomfort symptoms in the stomach, such as acid, bloating, and pain, quickly and effectively. Persistence in taking it can prevent the condition from worsening into an old stomach disease. For those with Helicobacter pylori, in addition to professional treatment, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained to avoid stimulating foods.
