Minimum course of antibiotics is for 14 days. One week is less then required duration.
Symptoms do PERSISTS after h pylori eradication, and need further treatment in most cases because inflammation takes time to heal.
Next Steps
avoid spicy foods coffee tea cold drinks alcohol smoking junk food etc
