Treatement of helicobacter pylori?


i discovered an upper cervical lymph node now for 2 month which is some time painful and not fixed

In patients who are asymptomatic, treatment is not usually recommended.

In gastric ulcer patients where H. pylori is detected, normal procedure is eradication to allow the ulcer to heal. The standard first-line therapy is a one week triple-therapy of amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole 鈥?though sometimes a different proton pump inhibitor is substituted, or metronidazole is used in place of amoxicillin in those allergic to penicillin. Such a therapy has revolutionised the treatment of gastric ulcers and has made a cure to the disease possible, where previously symptom-control using antacids, H2-antagonists or proton pump inhibitors alone was the only option.

Unfortunately, an increasing number of infected individuals are found to harbour bacteria resistant to first-line antibiotics. This results in initial treatment failure and requires additional rounds of antibiotic therapy. For resistant cases, a quadruple therapy may be used. Bismuth compounds are also effective in combination with the above drugs.

There is some preliminary evidence that regular consumption of broccoli might eradicate H. pylori[9].

As explained below, some authors suggest that an H. pylori infection may be protective against certain diseases of the esophagus and cardia. Therefore, a more cautious approach than complete eradication may be necessary in some cases.

The triple therapy treatment as laid out by the person above me is correct for eradicating H. pylori.

However, there are a great number of things that can lead to an enlarged cervical lymph node, some of which are worrying and some of which are not so worrisome eg. H pylori.

You should see a doctor and have someone with the proper expertise evaluate you and exclude another more sinister cause for your problems.

aciphex can be used along with antibiotics
