Avoidance of alcohol and smoking if any.
Regular exercise like brisk walking which enhances metabolism.
Antibiotics like ofloxacin-ornidazole 5-7days.

Would this condition show up in blood tests, which i had a week ago. Thankyou. Or will it ever go on its own.
Brief Answer:
It should get better in few days
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Mostly stomach infections do not require blood tests and treatment can be started according to symptoms. However, if it persists for a long time even with medication, blood tests, stool examination and specific tests for H.pylori can be done to rule out few causes. In general, blood tests may reveal signs of infection.
It should get better on its own if you follow the restrictions and take medicine as advised. Tests are not needed commonly.
Wish you good health.
