Hello,

Swallowing of air during eating or drinking may cause belching or burping. Other possibilities like irritable bowel syndrome or acute gastritis or food intolerance or inflammatory bowel problems etcetera. Until examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Normaxin twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
