Antibiotics are the most common form of treatment where H. pylori infections are concerned. The patient will usually need to take the medication for at least two weeks, and more than one type of drug is likely to be used in order to ensure that all of the H. pylori bacteria have been killed.
The patient will also often be prescribed medication like proton pump inhibitors that will help to reduce the acidity in the patient’s small intestines. Antacids can also be prescribed to help provide some temporary relief to the patient’s symptoms. For a lot of people with duodenitis, considerable changes in lifestyle may be deemed necessary.
