Hello doctor. I have an ulcer in the stomach area and infected with HP virus. I've been to the doctor and treated twice, but each time I go to the doctor and get treatment because I can't afford it, I don't go back to the doctor to prescribe more medicine. Now the HP virus is still there. Squeezing my stomach is very painful. I also have hepatitis B. Doctor let me ask if there is any cure for my condition? Please advise and give me advice. I sincerely thank you.
