A member asked:

I'm on amoxillin for a boil. could amoxicillin 500 3 x aday for 7 days kill h.pylori infection. i've heard you need multiple antibiotics but nt always?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

H. pylori: This is best treated with a combination of an h2 blocker and two antibiotics, and single agents alone are seldom effective. Would actually be somewhat surprised if the boil responded to amoxicillin, but perhaps the bacteria in australia are more sensitive to antibiotics than those elsewhere in the world. Hope you get better soon.
