Hi and thanks for the query,
I do not think it is dangerous.
Eat small quantities and eat slowly.
With burping small quantities of food can reflux back into your throat. It is not something to be worried about.
If your symptoms persist see a physician. You may require an upper GI endoscopy.
Regards, Dr Kishori.
