Helicobacter pylori Infection Children

Helicobacter pylori Infection (Children)

Question: My daughter has been treated with triple therapy for a period of time, but it hasn’t worked. The local doctor suggested stopping the treatment because the side effects are too severe for such a young child, yet my daughter still has obvious pain. What is the best way to handle this?

Answer: I agree that triple therapy should be avoided for young children, as it can disrupt the gut microbiota and leave long-term sequelae. Based on my experience, TCM herbal remedies are effective. Ancient prescriptions such as Banxia Xiexin Tang, Huanglian Tang, and Xiaochaihu Tang can all effectively suppress Helicobacter pylori infection.
