If the flatulence is caused by improper feeding of the infant, burping can usually relieve it. If it is an adult, or caused by functional dyspepsia or chronic gastritis, burping will not relieve flatulence.
To determine whether burping can relieve flatulence, we need to discuss the situation. For infants, if the flatulence is caused by improper feeding, such as too fast feeding or poor posture, burping in time can relieve the flatulence to a certain extent and help the infant to expel the gas in the stomach.
However, for adults or people suffering from functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis and other diseases, burping is not usually able to relieve flatulence. Patients with functional dyspepsia need to use pro-gastrointestinal power drugs such as Mosapride and Itopride as prescribed by their doctors; patients with chronic gastritis need to use pro-dynamic drugs such as Domperidone as prescribed by their doctors, as well as bismuth agents such as bismuth potassium citrate and colloidal bismuth pectin.
It is recommended that patients with frequent intestinal flatulence go to the hospital in a timely manner to clarify the specific causes and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.
