Dear Medical Community
My friend's son had did a gastrocopy.The Gastric biopsy diagnosis : Active gastritis with "Helicobacter pylori". This bacteria is very strong and active in his stomach, caused him tummy pain, vomiting, lost weight. He was on antibiotic & medication but still not better so the doctor did another Urea breath test. The result shown Helicobacter Pylori POSITIVE! and given him another course of Antibiotic. He have to take 16 antibiotic everyday.
My question is what is this bacteria? After the full course of antibiotic will he be recovered?
Kindly advise.
Thank You.
Warmest Regards
