Normally, the doctor will give H.Pylori killer first, after 14 days if the symptoms are okay, stop the drug for at least 01 month and go to test for H.Pylori to see if it's gone, this is only for cases of superficial ulcers. , mild, no risk of bleeding. These cases are usually negative after H.Pylori treatment, the disease is also fine.
In your case after 2-3 weeks of treatment, if discomfort, bloating, burning symptoms reappear, some of the following situations may occur:
