Why Does One Have The Urge Of Burping?

I'm 16 years old and for the past few weeks I've been having the urge to burp but I have trouble doing so.I don't have any pains or breathing problems just this constant burping. I don't eat spicy foods or drink pop so that can't be it. Should I be worried?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is the diet only that might be causing the burping or you must be talking at the time of eating. Both conditions need to be ruled out first.

Second, it could be acid peptic disease. If I would be the doctor of this case then I would have tried to treat this case with tablet Omeprazole 20 mg with Domperidone 10 mg once in a day for 4 weeks.

Infection also needs to be ruled out and it could be protozoa infection which can be treated with the single dose of Sacnidazole. Try to avoid spicy, oily food, and beans.

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

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
