my daughter will be eight in july, she has been having air in her stomach constantly , she complains it makes her feel nausas, she burps and its gone, shes fine, but then again it comes back every now and then during the day, oh it happends about 3 times a day, so far it happens whn she drinks out of a straw or drinking out of a cup without a straw too. i give her tums all the time with this problem that she has, but the thing is when she burps she is feeling better and ok, then it comes right back later that day , what should i do for her, im really concerned. Sad

thanks

I bet she is swallowing air when she eats and drinks and this is what she is burping..If she talks alot when eating or drinking she will swallow air..If she enhales before taking a bite or drinkig she is taking in air..

At the same time with the nausea I wonder if her gallbladder is doing ok? I'd have her PCP look her over and see what's going on just to be on the safe side..

I'd take her to your primary and see what he feels is going on..I would bet depending on tests that he refer her to a Gastro..best of luck..
