Q: I HAVE tested positive for H. pylori.
I’ve finished a seven-day eradication treatment but am not any better. What can I do?
Dr Zoe Williams helps a reader who has not seen any improvements after seven-day eradication treatmentOlivia WestA: Most stomach-lining inflammation and ulcers caused by H. pylori will heal in a few weeks after treatment.
So if you’ve just completed the one-week course of treatment, it might be that you need to wait longer for symptoms to resolve.
