If it doesn’t go away after a couple of days, you should call your doctor. Have you tried exercising? This can sometimes move gas along and help it to go away. But, if it is not going away after a couple of days, you need to be sure it is gas and not something else. There are also over the counter remedies so you can ask a pharmacist for some suggestions on treatment options. Good luck!

It is not clear whether the symptoms that you are describing are due to actual gas in the stomach or not. Because you are burping frequently, I would recommend that you try over the counter antacids such as Mylanta or Tums Initially, to see if they help. If you are not starting to see some relief within a few days, contact your doctor. Good luck.
