Brief Answer:
Treatment essential .Request sequential therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
The triple regime for H . pylori is often difficult to tolerate and many patients complain about it.
However these medicines are essential for the eradication of the bacteria.
If you cannot tolerate the regime , request your doctor for a sequential therapy.
Best wishes,
Dr Noble Zachariah

Brief Answer:
No further problem if the bacteria is eradicated.
Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
When you have eradicated the bacteria, there is no further problem unless you get reinfected. It is a faeco-oral transmission so be careful about what you eat.
You have to eat safe food, wash your hands well and lead a very hygienic life and then there is nothing much to worry.
Wish you a good day and good health
