General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
I appreciate your concern
Burping with choking sensation might be related to acid reflux and regurgitation of stomach content into mouth and throat leading to choking

I would advise her for an X ray chest and endoscopy if need be.
Meanwhile please follow these guidelines
Ask her to have small and frequent eating
You can give her anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids for 5 to 7 days
Give her plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
Ask her not to lie down immediately after eating

Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
