Brief Answer:
Try taking antiacids for some days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Burping just means air is coming up from your stomach.
Hiccups are the uncontrolled contractions of the diaphragm muscle (which controls breathing).

Burping and hiccups might be related to acid reflux,stomach irritation, indigestion, hiatal hernia.
This symptoms also might happen when you eat too quickly and too much food because you swallow too much air.

Try taking Mylanta plus with Simethicone for some day ,eat slowly and small meals.

If the burping and hiccups still persist after these measures then you probably should consult your treating doctor and get examined.

Hope my answer has helped.
Let me know if you have additional questions.

Wish you good health.
Regards.

Dr.Rovena Murati
