Question
Hello doctor. Recently, I had a stomach exam, the result was positive for HP. I took the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, but after 2 days, I had a lot of side effects, such as diarrhea, hot and cold, nausea, chest tightness. The doctor asked me if I now stop taking antibiotics and use other types of treatment such as using apricot leaves, turmeric, honey...will it work? Why can't I take antibiotics anymore? Thank you doctor.

Hello! Apricot leaves, turmeric, honey...have not been proven effective in treating H.Pylori. Side effects of drugs to treat H.Pylori sometimes occur in some patients, you should re-examine for the doctor to consider another regimen that is more suitable for you.
