Hi,
H.pylori infection is difficult to treat with only one course of medications.
Secnidazole is an antimicrobial agent within the same group of Metronidazole. It can help combating H.pylori infection.
I advise to take OTC ranitidine and antacids to relieve the symptoms. Following strict hygienic measures together with diet changes can also help.
Wish fast recovery!
