Gastritis is possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The most probable cause of burping and bad smell in mouth and possibly bad taste is gastritis, inflammation of the mucosal lining of the stomach.
She can take antiacids such Pepto-Bismol or maalox found otc in pharmacy.
She can also take PPI drugs such omeprazole to stop acidic secretions.
Also having a diet with low acidity fruits, less fruit juices, less oranges or tomatoes etc.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
