Helicobacter pylori infection due to kissing
-
I normally dont kiss a guy but recently I had this acid reflux from my stomach that make me caough all the time. I went to see my GP and he prescribed a anti-mucous liquid that I took for more than a month but no avail I still have the cough. The I returned and he gave me another capsule to be taken 3x a day-a capsule to protect my stomach because as he said I have this reflux of acid I took the capsule for 3 months but no result. I googlized and I found this helicobacter pylori infection thru kissing. So now I am infected :cry2: :cry2: and I think it is very difficult to cure this infection. Has anybody have the same problem. Pls help. Thks in advance.

from what i remember from class, i thought helicobacter pylori is a virus thats transferred via faecal-oral route which happens when people dont wash their hands

. anywho, just head back to your doctor if you think this the case, its treatable with penicillin, ppi and an antibiotic.
just remember to follow the regime closely, dont want resistant strains to appear :-[
good luck! -
I had it once, was prescribed an anti bacterial for HP and was cleared. The main source into the system is from dirty milk that has not been pasteurized properly.

In this meta-analysis the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the mouth was increased in stomach H. pylori patients, compared with those who didn't have it in their mouths ― indicating an association between infections of the mouth and stomach.
That [desc=A statistical technique for combining the findings from independent studies.]meta-analysis[/desc] also found significant differences in the rates of eradication success between the stomach and the mouth (85.8% vs. 5.7%) indicating that the mouth can serve as a permanent reservoir of H. pylori, and it can also be a potential source for stomach reinfection after successful antibiotic therapy.
The reservoir for these infections appears to be dental plaque. This can be explained by the structure of dental plaque itself, as it contains proliferating microorganisms, along with a scattering of epithelial cells, leukocytes, and macrophages, which make the H. pylori harbored in it inaccessible to any drug taken for treatment. Another meta-analysis suggests that rigorous oral hygiene focusing on the removal of dental plaque was one way of preventing your own reinfection of the stomach.

OK. First I must be perfect in cleaning my mouth, then cleaning my hands and taking antibiotics. Thanks everybody and I will see if I can eradicate this pest and dont suffer anymore acid reflux that make me cough.

.It's a bacteria, not a virus, and it's likely transmitted oral-oral or oral-fecal (drinking unfiltered or untreated water). The bacteria does not live long on a person's hands.

This is correct, although I wouldn't call it the main source ― anything unpasteurized can be a source for transmission.

First you must not get infected ― but in your case that's too late. You join the other 50% of humankind who already have this bacteria in their gut. For a small amount of you this can lead to cancer, but for most people the only adverse affects are an inflammation of the stomach. In your case this led to respiratory problems.
After taking antibiotics to clear the bacteria from the stomach, some people may find the bacteria (and the inflammation) reappears after a time. They may think this is because the antibiotics stopped working―or weren't strong enough―but their reinfection most likely came from the reservoir of bacteria already found to be present in that person's dental plaque. Removal of the plaque may lessen the chance for reinfection of the stomach.
No amount of antibiotics will eradicate the bacteria completely from the body. Once someone has it, they likely have it for life.

One thing that helps very much, not with the infection itself but with improving the symptoms, is to avoid consuming any Coke or Pepsi or any other carbonated and/or highly acidic beverages. Rigorous oral hygiene (flossing, brushing, mouthwash) is also helpful. A course of antibiotics combined with a proton pump inhibitor would be beneficial as well.
