Hello everyone, this is my first post on here.

last week I tested positive for H pylori after suffering from the usual symptoms so I'm on the triple therapy.

my question is can H pylori cause swollen lymph nodes as they started to sell under my chin 3 weeks ago and are abit sore to touch? 

Thank you

    Hi Mark

    Could anyone on this feed please share their experience post treatment.

    I have the same story, very swollen glands sometimes feels like like i am suffocating.

    Even checked for allargies- nothing. I found so far only antihistamine helps which my GP said also reduced level of acidity in stomoch.

    Also i am curious even if i take the curse of antibiotics and get rid of the bacteria alltogether it is so widly spread that what are the chances i wount get it again...

    Any usuful articles experiences would be much appreciated.

    I had a painful sore throat and nodes. Even felt like my thyroid was inflamed. I eradicated it and symptoms went away... Got it back again and guess what?!) sore throats and nodes. Antibiotics did nothing for me so I am using Matula tea. It's expensive but works! Look

    It up online if your interested.

    I had h. pylori four years ago and right after the triple therapy developed issues with enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and issues with stools like described off and on and controllable by avoiding certain foods particular to me. For sure I have not been the same since the therapy and have struggled since with bouts of anxiety about my health. I suspected unless entirely coincidental for us all that this infection and its treatment are not without some long term consequences unfortunately. To me this type of therapy should be studied and doctors should be more inquisitive about this approach to therapy as it seems to deserve at least some more thought and research as h. pylori is a serious infection and common throughout the world!

    Get checked out often (tell your doctor you are not crazy) and here is hoping this is not a coincidental set of issues more serious and that these do go away with time and a healthy lifestyle!!!!

    Regards,

    Will

    I was having some chest/below rib pain. doctor tested me for h. pylori via blood test. came back positive at 3.4. she put me on on the antibiotics treatment (so many!), now having a swollen lymph node in the back of my neck. doctor says i should wait 3 weeks and see if it goes away.

    wondering how ya'll are doing now? i know it's been 6 years since the latest activity on this post.
