Hello doctor, I am a female, aged 34 years. A year ago I did h.pylori test which came positive and the doctor gave me 2 weeks antibiotics course and then I did not retest it. Most of the time I face burping and acid reflux problem, I have gallstones also 4 to 6 mm multiple stones, now since a week fever is coming which is a low grade fever from 37.1 to 37.5. Please advice me.
Hello, Welcome to ilciniq.com. With the given data it is difficult to tell which test was done to confirm H. Pylori, if it was a stool antigen test or a breath test (rarely done) or a serum test. Given that you mentioned, it came out positive, anyways you need to take a H.Pylori eradication kit, which includes 2 antibiotics along with a PPi plus one more agent (depending on physicians preference). As you are on 2 weeks of antibiotics, you should get your self-tested again for H.Pylori with stool antigen test. If it is negative you do not need to take anymore antibiotics otherwise you will need another 10 days of different set of antibiotics or you can take 2 more weeks of antibiotics and repeat test again. But the symptoms you are having might not get better with H.Pylori eradication, they might be due to acid reflux which is totally different from H.Pylori. You should get your self evaluated with an upper GI endoscopy and rule out GERD. You should avoid, fatty food and excercise regularly and keep a gap between meal and naps. shedding off a bit of fat will definitely help, as your BMI is about 27.5, try getting it to 25 and you will see the difference.
