Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Belching or burping is way of body to expel out air from stomach whether it is due to excess swallowed air or produced because of food digestion or acid reflux or gastritis etc.

Feeling boated in stomach or gas trouble in stomach could be related to dyspepsia, constipation or acute gastritis but it needs further evaluation by clinical examination and various tests to have confirmed diagnosis.

If your husband's symptoms are not so troublesome then I can suggest some medications and dietary precautions to get relieved from this bloating.

1) Proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole 40 or rabeprazole 20)
2) H2 blockers like Rantac150
3) Syrup digene 2 TSF three times a day
4) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods rather take bland diet for initial few days
5) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather take small and frequent meals.
6) Have soft diet only for next 2 to 3 days
7) Take salads (cucumber, cabbage, carrot,beat) in the meal,more take vegetables
8) Quit alcohol if he takes
9) Walk slowly after every meal but do not walk fast. Avoid taking rest immediately after meal.
10) Take stool softener or laxatives like syrup cremaffin plus 3TSF at a bed time.

All the medications are available over the counter and if not then you should consult your family physician or some local doctor who will know about the drugs and can prescribe you.

I expect him to get better within 2 to 3 days but if the symptoms persists then i will advice you to see physician or gastro physician who can order various tests (below mentioned) and can come to a particular diagnosis and start the treatment.

1) routine blood investigations,
2) liver function tests,
3) urine and stool examination for R/M and ova
4) ultrasound of abdomen

Hope this will help you to get better and if any query then you can ask me.

Regards,

Dr.SandipKabra
