A member asked:

My daughter burps a lot and gets a trapped air bubble in her chest. this happens frequently and lasts a long time even after antacid. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See pediatrician: She might have a hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux. It's impossible to make a diagnosis online, so it's best to take her to her pediatrician for proper evaluation.
