What Causes The Condition To Constantly Swallow And Expel Tiny Burps?
I believe that my daughter is suffering from anorexia. She has developed this condition where she constantly swallows and expels tiny burps. Is this part of anorexia or could it be something else. Also, she was born with Corrective Transposition with Pulmonary atresia

Hi...it would have been better if you had mentioned the age of your kid. By what you quote I do not feel that it is anorexia. I feel that she is doing it by habit and it is habit disorder. The best way to manage this is by tender loving care and get her out of the habit. If not it could also be due to attention seeking behaviour in which case it is better to ignore it. If nothing is working I suggest you get in touch with a clinical psychologist.
