Hello,
H. pylori is a bacterial infection of the stomach.
It needs a specific treatment with antibiotics such as Amoxicillin for 7 to 14 days.
I also suggest using an antacid such as Maalox.
You should use a plain diet and avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
