Please tell me if frequent belching in a 5-year-old child is nothing dangerous? Recently, he has been doing it frequently - not only after eating, and certainly not especially.
Hello, This symptom is usually associated with an excessive amount of air in the stomach, for which there is not enough space in the stomach after eating, so it is excreted through the so-called belching. The symptom may appear in people who eat quickly and / or talk while eating.
You do not mention anything about eating habits - I advise you to pay attention to the way the child eats meals. It is important not to rush or chat while eating. The rule of easy and slow eating, known from the old days, has its justification.
Sometimes people who consume large amounts of carbonated drinks may experience similar symptoms, and excessive consumption of sweets may exacerbate this ailment. Finally, a kind of habitual belching may develop over time. It is worth encouraging the child to eat calmly and possibly eliminate food products in the form of carbonated drinks and excess sweets from the diet. Regards, MD Krystyna Knypl
