Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been suffering from hyperacidity for the past three months and have gone through all the tests I could do.
I was diagnosed with mild antral gastritis. RUT (rapid urease test is positive). My doctor suggested I take a Pantocid HP (Amoxicillin, Pantoprazole, and Clarithromycin) kit for 14 days. Still, I could not make it for five days as the medicine did not suit me, and the doctor asked me to take Pantocid 40 mg for 14 days which I have taken, but it did not help me.
Doctor, I am tired of doing everything I can. However, the problem is still persistent, and due to this, I have been suffering from shortness of breath, anxiety, gas, and heaviness in my stomach without having any heavy meals.
Please help me.
It has been three months now.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry about, and you may have an H. pylori infection. It is a bacteria that causes chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. If you cannot take it orally, you can take the intravenous route because H. pylori are dangerous bacteria. Until you get rid of it, you cannot improve your symptoms. You can take intravenous Metronidazole, Amoxicillin Clavulanate, and Pantoprazole thrice a day eradication course. Then repeat the urea breath test. Avoid spicy food and alcohol, and avoid smoking. Eat green leafy vegetables. If symptoms do not improve, I suggest you consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.
