Is 6 years old too young for a boy to receive allergy treatment shots? I've heard different opinions on this matter. I've heard that it is good to wait until the child is older, because their bodies are still growing. But my kid is always stuffy and he just seems to be miserable with all of his allergy symptoms. I know he'd feel better right away if you started treatment. Should I wait or go ahead? Has anyone encountered a similar circumstance?

I am sorry. Can you elaborate? Can we help you from the Helicobacter pylori's angle?

From some medical journals, I have read that it is not easy to receive allergy treatment shots in younger ages. Can you elaborate about this miserable condition and make us relieve from allergic symptoms. Also I would like to know more about treatment for Helicobacter.

in general, doctor would prescribe triple therapy to patients proven infected by H. pylori either via breath, blood or stool test. the triple therapy consist of 2 antibiotics and 1 ppi (proton pump inhibitor). The cure rate is about 80% and dropping due to antibiotic resistance. if the first treatment failed, proven by the followup breath test, then a second triple therapy with different antibiotic combination should be given. amoxicillin can be used repetitively as rarely we see resistance to amoxicillin. For patients who are allergic to amoxicillin, they have to consult their GP for other antibiotic combinations. We have published some info in regards to the 2nd line quadruple therapy.
