What should I do if I can’t stop belching after drinking?

Belching without stopping after drinking alcohol may be caused by reflux esophagitis, gastritis or peptic ulcer, etc. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause. Treatment includes medication. 1. Reflux esophagitis: Drinking alcohol may lead to reflux esophagitis and then cause belching, mostly with acid reflux. Patients can follow the doctor’s advice to use acid inhibitors (such as cimetidine, ranitidine), gastrointestinal stimulants (such as domperidone, mosapride), antacids (such as magnesium hydroxide, magnesium aluminum carbonate), mucosal protection drugs (such as aluminum sulfate, bismuth pectin), and so on, and usually for the combined use of drugs. 2. Gastritis: Drinking alcohol may lead to gastritis, which is commonly manifested by epigastric fullness, belching, acid reflux, burning sensation and so on. Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions for drug treatment, drugs, including acid inhibitors, gastric mucosal protectants (such as aluminum sulfate), pro-dynamic drugs (such as domperidone, mosapride) and so on. 3. Peptic ulcer: Drinking alcohol may lead to gastrointestinal mucosal invasion damage, resulting in peptic ulcer, often causing belching. Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions for drug treatment, drugs include famotidine, nizatidine and so on. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying your condition or triggering adverse reactions.
