Apricots, turmeric, honey, ... have the effect of treating H.Pylori bacteria?

This is an automatically translated article.

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.
Thank you for asking questions to Vinmec.com website. Best regards.

How to take vitamin A?

I am 40 years old, 2 years ago, I often had an itch and felt like something was blocking my vision. I went to the doctor, the doctor said I had dry eyes and prescribed medicine for me to drink. Then a friend told me that if I had dry eyes, taking vitamin A would be very good. Since then, I sometimes buy vitamin A to drink. Can I take this medicine, please? Thank you!Nguyen Bich Hong (Bac Ninh)
