Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. H. Pylori eradication includes Triple regimen therapy for 10-14 days. It includes pantoprazole with clarithromycin, metronidazole, or amoxicillin. These are prescription medicines so you need to visit hospital. - sucralfate suspension is OTC drug and can be used in case of pain. Medicine only will not help. You need to take general care as well. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
> General Care:
- take small frequent meals.
- take 30-45 mins walk/exercise daily in the evening. It will make you fresh, healthy and is good for digestion.
- Don't lie down immediately after taking meal
- raise head end of your bed slightly(by an inch)
- Eat a diet rich in fiber, especially from fruits and vegetables
> AVOID:
fatty & oily food.
spices
heavy meals at night
carbonated & caffeine drinks
chocolates
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
