Could Severe Burping Be Due To Sucking Of Air While Coughing?
i am battling a pretty bad cough, i am so gassy and bloated that i cannot stop burping. would it be from coughing and sucking in air? i am currently taking CIPRO for a nasal infection,(2 pills left) which now i think is bronchitis.the gas is way more annoying than the cough..
Burping during coughing may be due to sudden release of air due increased intra-abdominal pressure due to contraction of abdominal muscles. It is normal to everyone. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, avoid smoking.
Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
