Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would also go for a stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive. Abdominal pain could be due to any of the various intra abdominal causes, and in your mother's case might not be solely due to a H Pylori which could have been just an incidental finding as such (although not necessarily so). I would also advise her an ultrasound of abdomen, and a base line ECG to rule out any intra abdominal pathology or any unsuspected cardiac problem at this age. I would also advise a routine CBC and a blood sugar estimation for her. Further management would depend on the investigation reports.

In addition, Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and smoking if applicable in her case. Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on her medical fitness would also be helpful.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your mother's health problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
