Hello friend,
With the question “Is it okay to be hungry or cold behind the shoulder when treating HP infection? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You are being treated with drugs to kill HP bacteria, usually, the doctor will prescribe 01 medicine to reduce gastric acid secretion (PPI), 2 antibiotics and digestive enzymes. If you do not have symptoms such as drug allergy (urticaria, severe difficulty breathing, ...), no nausea, dizziness, no digestive disorders (abdominal pain, loose stools, etc.). ..) then you can continue the treatment until the course of antibiotics is over.
After about 6 weeks of treatment, you should go to the doctor to check for HP bacteria to see if it has been successfully eradicated, so that the doctors can give specific advice.
If you still have questions about the treatment of HP infection, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
