A member asked:

Currently taking h pylori antibiotics for the past week, is it normal that i don't feel better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: Yes. You could feel poorly related to the infection but you could also feel badly related to the medicines. It's a lot of meds and patients often complain of ill feels while taking the meds. Try to keep up with the entire program.
