Hello Aneisa, thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.
Let me introduce myself that Dr. Rio will answer your question.
Belching after eating is a normal thing. Belching is one of the ways the body releases gas in the digestive tract. Gas can enter the digestive tract when eating / drinking or can also come from food / drinks consumed. However, excessive belching can also be a sign of problems in the digestive tract. Based on the complaints mentioned, it is still not specific enough to lead to a diagnosis of disease. But from the complaint, there are several diseases that lead, such as:
GERD Gastritis Gastric ulcer, etc. The above disease can cause signs and symptoms like your sister experienced. To be sure, you should consult a doctor for an interview about the complaint in more detail to lead to an illness and a direct examination of the patient's body. The treatment given is also based on the diagnosis obtained.
At this time what should be done to prevent and reduce complaints is:
Don't eat and drink in a hurry. Avoid soft drinks / alcohol. Avoid consuming foods that can produce gas, such as broccoli, cabbage, nuts, and dairy products. Avoid smoking. Limit your consumption of sweets and gum. Consult a doctor if complaints become more severe. That's all the answers I can give. Thank you :)
