Medical Conditions - Belching

Belching is otherwise called burping. It occurs as an act of expulsion of air from the stomach through the mouth. It usually occurs when the stomach gets distended or expanded. Commonly, belching is seen in GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Chronic belching is seen during inflammation of the stomach, ulcers, or due to Helicobacter pylori infection. It can occur along with other symptoms like discomfort or bloating. Taking anti-gas medication like Simethicone provides some relief. Bismuth subsalicylate is helpful in cases of having burps smelling like sulfur.
