Dear patient. Don't worry. You will be fine in a couple of weeks if you take the treatment properly.
H.pylori is a bacteria that causes ulcers in stomach. This can be cured completely with appropriate treatment which includes antibiotics and antacids.
H.pylori alone is never a life threatening disease unless left untreated or is partially treated.
If not treated properly, it can lead to stomach cancer.
So please follow your gastroenterologist's orders for proper treatment and follow up to check if it has been completely treated.

Not dangerous.
Health Tips
To manage H. pylori infection, focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, acidic, and high-sugar foods, and consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like garlic, ginger, and green tea, along with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kefir, to help alleviate symptoms and support treatment.

Thank you for reaching out with your query.
In order to provide you with an accurate and complete medical opinion, I would need a more detailed history, relevant clinical findings, and possibly a review of your reports or investigations. Unfortunately, it is not medically advisable to provide a diagnosis or treatment solely based on limited information in a message.
I recommend booking an online consultation with me through Practo. This will allow us to have a thorough discussion regarding your symptoms and help me guide you better.
Looking forward to helping you in a more detailed manner.
Warm regards,
Dr. Sudarshan Lamture

Please provide more details.
Have you undergone endoscopy?
Do you have gastric ulcer?
H.pylori infection is very common in the Indian population.
It is actually considered protective against gastric cancer.
So treatment is not warranted until and unless the patient has a gastric ulcer, which can only be diagnosed with endoscopy.
