Is it necessary to treat Helicobacter pylori positive

When H. pylori is positive, a carbon 13 breath test value of more than 4 dpm or a carbon 14 breath test value of more than 100 dpm requires treatment, and quadruple therapy is commonly used, while those with lower values do not require treatment. At present, the method of eradicating H. pylori in clinical practice is quadruple therapy, i.e., a proton pump inhibitor and bismuth combined with two antibiotic drugs composed of quadruple drugs for treatment. Such as omeprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, bismuth potassium citrate. It is important to note that antibiotics are selected for use based on individual allergy history. It is contraindicated for those who are allergic to the above drugs. When Helicobacter pylori is positive, attention should be paid, and its treatment needs to be based on the specific situation, please consult a doctor in time, and choose the appropriate and effective treatment program under the guidance of the doctor.
