I say hello to the doctor. The doctor asked me: My mother, 60 years old, sometimes suffers from acid reflux. She went for a gastroscopy and found that she was infected with HP bacteria. The doctor instructs me how to treat a 60-year-old elderly person infected with HP bacteria. How long does it take to treat HP bacteria? Thank you sincerely.

Answer
Hello,
To treat HP bacteria, it is necessary to use 2-3 antibiotics in combination with PPI - drugs that reduce gastric acid secretion. The treatment of this HP bacteria requires a doctor's prescription, so you should take your mother to see a gastroenterologist for advice on choosing a treatment regimen suitable for her mother's HP infection.
You can register for an examination for your mother at a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be consulted by qualified doctors. Thank you for trusting me to send the question of how the 60-year-old old man infected with HP is treated to Vinmec.
