Hello Doctor,
I've been diagnosed with typhoid, high levels of acid in my stomach, Helicobacter pylori infection, and gas problems. Can you recommend any medication that I can start taking to help with these issues?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
First, it is important to confirm the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori through a test. If H. pylori is confirmed, the standard treatment is a 14-day triple therapy for eradication, which typically includes:
1. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, or Lansoprazole. These medications help reduce stomach acid production, which can help with your acid-related symptoms.
2. Clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day (BID).
3. Amoxicillin 1 gram twice a day (BID).
This combination therapy helps to clear the infection and heal the stomach lining.
Please consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure the best approach for your condition.
Thanks
