Case 1: The quadruple therapy generally requires 10-14 days of medication. Unless there are special reasons, patients are advised to take the medication for 14 days, followed by a 4-week break and a follow-up visit to the hospital to check the recovery status. If there are still medications left after 14 days, patients do not need to finish them all, as 14 days of medication usually fulfills the treatment course. If the patient feels that the illness is minor, the medication duration should not be less than 10 days.
Case 2: If you suspect you have gastric issues, it is crucial to undergo Helicobacter pylori testing first. In hospitals, different testing methods are available based on individual patient conditions, and there is no single most effective test. The most effective test depends primarily on your physical condition.
Case 3: The current treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection primarily involves antibiotics. Based on each person's infection status and physical condition, there are two treatment options: triple therapy and quadruple therapy. The effectiveness of the treatment should be determined by a doctor's judgment, so please do not make decisions based on your own experience.
Case 4: Antibiotics are generally prescribed for Helicobacter pylori treatment, usually for two weeks or half a month. If the quadruple therapy is chosen, it may require approximately three weeks of medication. However, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice regarding the detailed treatment course, as they will make the best judgment based on the test reports and drug properties.
