accutane is causing constant burping problem why
hello thanks for providing a detailed history of your son this excessive burping usually occurs due to aerophagia patient is usually not aware of it and they swallow a lot of air during eating or drinking we normally swallow a little air and we sometimes have one or two burps in routine but those who swallow more air have more burping coming to his lab tests this a ratio is not that significant and his vitamin should be replaced both these tests are not associated with burping he has no alarm sign so endoscopy is not mandatory and he can avoid it his endoscopy report will be most probably normal he needs diaphragmatic exercises to avoid burping the way forward is that after eating or drinking he should hold a pencil in his teeth and take a deep breath via nose and exhale via mouth for about five minutes and it will help out he can take tablet baclofen my three times daily before meals for 10 days and should avoid chewing gums
