A positive C¹⁴ test for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) suggests the presence of Hp infection in the patient, which can usually be treated with a quadruple combination of drugs such as omeprazole + bismuth potassium citrate + amoxicillin + metronidazole.
Hp infection is usually caused by poor diet or low immunity, it is a contagious disease, and its transmission includes patients sharing tableware, or through oral droplets, fecal-oral transmission, and so on. Infection with H. pylori may lead to gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer and other digestive diseases if not treated accordingly.
Patients with Hp infection can usually be treated with a quadruple combination of drugs for anti-infection, which includes two antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, ornidazole, etc.; proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, lansoprazole, etc. As well as bismuth agents, such as colloidal bismuth pectin and bismuth potassium citrate. Usually 2 weeks is a course of treatment, and C¹⁴ is repeated four weeks after stopping the medication.
All of the above drugs should be applied under medical supervision. If the infection of Hp exists, it is recommended to seek early medical treatment and give relevant measures with the help of a doctor.
