A member asked:
I think i may have h. pylori but i've only had symptoms for 2 days, should i go to a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If your symptoms are more of a heartburn or mild pain after eating, then i might start with an over the counter medicine first. H2 blockers like Famotidine and ranitidine are good, and ppis like Omeprazole and Lansoprazole are a bit stronger. If these don't help or if your symptoms are more severe, then get checked out!
