I had pain in my esophagus while swallowing food. So I consulted a gastroenterologist and got an egd done. Reports shows mild esophagitis, moderate gastritis with mucosal polyp and h pylori positive. My reports are 2 months old. I didn't complete the antibiotic therapy. I continued to take esomeprazole and an antacid as needed. Since the past few days, I have the same problem of difficulty in swallowing despite taking the medications. Please tell me can something go seriously wrong in like 2 months or is it just inflammation? And should I take treatment for h pylori?

Do this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't Overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U can eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style 7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. It contains a lot of fiber which will help reduce tendency for constipation 9. Drink lot of water. 10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time 11. Take half cup of cold milk when u feel acidity, it will help. Curd is good for u. 12. If its very severe then Elevate your bed Raising the head of your bed six to eight inches can help gravity keep gastric acid down in your stomach. This is for long term results But for now to bring your digestive system back on track you need to take medicines. For that I need more details, you can consult me

H pylori treatment should be completed in it’s entirety as it can become a recurring problem, like you are experiencing. Do not worry, consult your gastroenterologist again and he will prescribe the fresh medicines again.
