I have prescribed for hp kit for 14 days since I was diagnosed gastritis in stomach with hpylori possitive. I have completed my course of medicine Please let me know whether the bacterial infection will come again or not. Reinfection possible or not? Because after taking hp kit also I am experiencing gastritis pain.
