Brief Answer:
Standard therapy is given to you as per protocol.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for query.
Have gone through your narration.
See if you are positive for H.Pylori then standard protocol treatment is-
Therapy for H. pylori infection consists of 10 days to 2 weeks of one or two effective antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, tetracycline metronidazole, or clarithromycin, plus either ranitidine bismuth citrate, bismuth subsalicylate, or a proton pump inhibitor.
If you are not relieved after 2 weeks of therapy then endoscopy is required.
Right now endoscopy is not required.

Regards.
