What Causes Burping In Between Coughs?

My 3 year old son just came down with an upper respiratory illness today...runny nose and coughing. The odd thing is that in between coughs, he burps continously. Should I be concerned? Is this due to excessive mucus? Happens every time he coughs (which is often).

Hi

No don't worry it might happen to some patients. It is an excessive reflex
