General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I think you are having h.pylori infection. H. pylori is a common type of bacteria that usually infects the stomach. They may be present in more than half of all people in the world. I would recommend h.pylori antibodies testing and urea breath test for diagnosis. Treatment is by triple therapy consisting of ppi, amoxicillin and clarithromycin.

Let me know if this was helpful and do ask if you have any further questions.

Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Akash Kumar
