Thanks for your query at HCM!
I believe you are under-treated.
You must start a triple therapy of proton pump inhibitors, amoxicillin and clarithromycin. You can also use quadruple therapy in which bismuth subslicylate is also added. Take the treatment for 10-14 days. I hope this treatment will cure you.
Happy to take further queries!
Take care!
