: I still think your body is fighting off a common cold viral infection that'll most likely last a week or so. If you feel that your belching is gas buildup from indigestion, avoid gassy foods &amp; beverages. Don't force yourself to belch as you'll only keep swallowing more air. Taking simethicone 1/2 hour after meals prevents gas buildup.
