Bad Cold, Fever, Cough, Ultimate Post Nasal Drip Has Caused Excessing Burping, Stomach Discomfort. Help?

My man had a bad cold, fever, coughing, etc. It lasted a long time but he slowly got better within about 2 weeks but I think his ultimate post nasal drip has now caused excessive burping and stomach discomfort. Now I don't know what to do for him to alleviate these symptoms. He's getting very frustrated as he's normally a strong and very healthy person. What can we do to make him normal again? Should I mention that he had a flu shot about a week to 10 days before he got sick?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C..M. Forum.
Excessive burp is due to two reasons.
1 Hyper acidity caused by antibiotics used for the treatment for cough and cold.
2 Tension of disease develops gas formation and indigestion, so this produces burp.
Post nasal discharge may be due to allergy . As you mentioned that there was cough , fever , cold .
All these developed due to bronchoconstriction and bronchoconstriction developed mucus formation ( this is post nasal discharge ).
Now consult an E N T and get his opinion as physical examination is important .
Good luck.Dr. HET
