Burping, also known as belching, ructus or eructation is the release of gas from the digestive tract (mainly esophagus and stomach) through the mouth. It is often accompanied with a typical sound and sometimes an odor.
Burping is typically caused by eating or drinking too fast, and thereby swallowing (aerophagia) and subsequently expelling air, in which case the expelled gas is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. Burps can also be caused by imbibing carbonated drinks such as beer, soft drinks, or champagne, in which case the expelled gas is carbon dioxide from the drink itself. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can also cause involuntary burping. Some studies have suggested that aerophagia is not the primary culprit but that burping is in fact a learned (social) behaviour.
There is no actual cure but I hope that helps.

Drink water and try to stay away from foods that make you burp

Hahahaha - letting it out at the other end !!
Burping (and farting) is the body's way of getting rid of unwanted air in the system.
If you don't get rid of it you will start to feel bloated.

Drinking water or what works for me is holding my breath for as long as possible.
