H pylori in child

Posted , 3 users are following.

Iv got a 9yr old daughter who has

 h-pylori bacteria in her stomach, she has treated with the three different dose meds for couple weeks back last year in June, that didn’t work, in December she got treated again same meds in adult form, and we just got her results few days ago as I couldn’t go earlier. And she still has it. I don’t know what else to do. I went and seeked  a first second and there opinion and all three different doctors told me not to re treat it and why did I treat it in the first place as apparently it’s a common bacteria and so on. Now the dr who originally treated her wants to send her to a pediatrician to take things from her on.  Just wondering is anyone else has experienced this or knows anything about this certain bacteria
