My mother is 75 years old and doctor has prescribed pantocid kit, cmox, t econorm for 14 days for h pylori found in biopsy after endoscopy. Due to the medication, she is having dryness and bitterness of mouth from day one even during night. This is also causing sleeplessness. Please advise if this is normal? Also suggest any ways to reduce bitterness of mouth.

Dear lybrate-user, I assume your mother is suffering from chronic gastritis or functional dyspepsia. H pylori is difficult to eradicate at old age. Our focus should be on improving health. Antibiotics are effective only short term, ppi such as pantoprazole are completely unnecessary and cause more symptoms such as gas and bloating. Reducing acid is not solution, infact as we get older we lose stomach acid. Acid helps digest food and kill bacteria in intestine. So, try to never suppress acid. Try this for 5 days and see how she responds. Enterogermina 1-1 daily himalaya diarex 1-1 unienzyme 1-1-1 i’m sure she will definitely respond to this. If you want detailed analysis, you may consult me.
