Burping due to increased relaxation of sphincter
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Some individuals have increased relaxation of lower Oesophageal sphincter( there is a physiological valve at the junction of oesophagus and stomach preventing reflux of stomach contents back into the the oesophagus) this causes expulsion of gases after every feeds or drink. In absence of other symptoms like burning pain in chest, nausea or vomiting there appears to be no cause for concern.
It would be helpful if you could get back to me with detailed reporrt of Barium swallow and if possible provide me with images.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life

Could be due to reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Reflux could also cause frequent clearing of throat and it may not be associated with pain in chest or stomach.
Your symptoms definitely suggest the likelihood of reflux. Antacid like Pantoprozole + Domperidone will be helpful.
