How Can Cold, Fever And Excessive Burping In Children Be Treated?
My son is 9 and has been sick with head cold and fever all day. He has also had excessive burping and I don t know what to do for him to get the burping to stop. It s out of control and he s so uncomfortable. I gave him 3 different meds throughout the day today because I thought it was one of the meds but it wasn t. I also gave him pepto at 5pm but that didn t help either.
