General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I really appreciate your concern for your sister,
Burping might be related to Aerophagia (swallowing of air), Use of carbonated drinks like cola, ill fitted denture, high protein diet, indigestion or acid peptic disease due to stomach hyperacidity.

Please try to identify among these underlying cause and ask her to correct if accordingly.

If you can upload me all her reports with relevant medical history so that I will be able to guide you better.

Meanwhile ask her to have antiacidity medicines like pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids.
Ask her to have ENO or lemon water and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in her diet

Hope this helps her
Thanks for your question, please feel free to ask for any further assistance.
Best wishes
