Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. Is there any good way to treat Helicobacter pylori infection?Doctor's answer:
Helicobacter pylori is typically treated with medication. Currently, a four-drug regimen is recommended, with a course lasting 10-14 days. During the medication period, some patients may experience side effects such as dry mouth, bitter taste, dark-colored stools, or increased bowel movements. However, most patients can tolerate these effects. In rare cases, some patients may have an allergic reaction to the medication, or certain patients may experience abnormal liver or kidney function test results after taking the drugs.
