Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor [gastroenterologist] and to confirm do few investigations like [Endoscopy, Stool for occult blood].
2) Discuss with your Doctor about [Clarithromycin, metronidazole, pantoprazole, and sucralfate].
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Protect yourself from infections by frequently washing your hands with soap and water and by eating foods that have been cooked completely.
2) Use caution with pain relievers. If you regularly use pain relievers that increase your risk of peptic ulcer, take steps to reduce your risk of stomach problems. For instance, take your medication with meals.
3) Try to avoid drinking alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
