Hello,
It is quite possible that your therapy might have failed.
Get a repeat urea breath test done.
If H.pylori is still present,then repeat a course of antibiotic with a different set of antibiotics because H.pylori easily becomes resistant to metronidazole and clarithromycin.
After therapy,again wait for one month and if you still have your symptoms ,then it could mean a resistant infection.
You would require a endoscopy and biopsy with culture to check the antibiotic susceptibility of H.pylori strain and then a proper course of most appropriate antibiotic combination can be advised.
Thanks
