[|Human|] I was diagnosed with H. pylori by RUT. I completed my 14 day course of triple antibiotic therapy on Dec 22. I am on an antireflux capsule now for total of 6 weeks out of which I have completed 3 weeks. I dont have any pain in chest but I still have the sensation of food being stuck up in the lowe end of of the throat. The EGD showed hiatus hernia but on 2nd opinion with another docotor i was told that there is no hiatus hernia only the opening has been a bit enlarged. What do the symptoms after the treatment suggest
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorSorry to reply to your query late. Hope you are ok by now. Will still like to reply your query if it may still help you. Any of the 2 diagnosis from both Doctor could be correct. However, unless I examine you I may not know with certainty what could be the problem. Being treated for H pylori may not stop your symptoms immediately. Healing is progressive and this is why you had to go on an anti-reflux/anti-secretory for some weeks again after your antibiotherapy. If I were your treating Doctor, I will, would have treated as follows:-Antibiotherapy for 14 days-Anti-secretory like omeprazole for 21 to 28 days-Antacid like maalox-Counseling on home measure to prevent gastritis/Verdi symptoms do not improve, I send you to a Astrologist for examination and a microscopy or endoscopy. If you are still struggling with your symptoms, I will advise you see a Astrologist for evaluation and better management. Hope this will help Best regards
