What causes constant burping in a child?
Patient: For about a week now my 5 year old daughter has been burping constantly. She sounds like a boy twice her age when she does it. She doesn t say it is causing her pain and she isn t eating anything out of the ordinary. It worries me a bit because it just started out of the blue. Can you help? (She is about 48 inches tall and 46 lbs. She is also white, if that makes a difference.) Doctor: It is just due to dietary habits..kindly reduce milk and milk based products and snacks items sir...this will lead to excessive burping as it causes more gas formation sir..so kindly reduce these items and give colacid syrup 2.5 ml three times a day  for 3 days
