Can burping all day almost every 1 hr to 2 hrs for a day will it damage my esophagus?can i have cancer bec.of that?

Sounds like: Hyperacidity. You may want to be checked, but consider taking otc ranitidine while you are waiting, 150 mg, twice daily. Reflux may be a cause of barrett's esophagus and a risk of esophageal cancer.
