Hello,
Thanks for writing ,
Burping is usually due to the excessive swallow of air ,without noticing during eating and drinking.
It may be habitual for some persons ,it can be cured by counselling and change of positions during drinking and eating .
Visit your nearby physician and get counselled.
Take care .
