Aeropahgia benign: Most cases of excessive belching do not represent a disease but rather a functional problem called aeropahagia --or swallowing air. Would advise consulting a gastroenterologist if this continues.

Constant burping: Yes, this could be a problem. Your father should see his doctor for a check up.
