Continuous burping along with loose stools for 3–4 days at her age usually points toward acute gastritis, indigestion, or a mild gut infection.
It’s generally not dangerous, but in people above 60 we need to be a bit more careful because:
• Dehydration can happen quickly
• Electrolytes may drop
• Burping can sometimes be a sign of acid imbalance or delayed gastric emptying
• Age-related digestion slows down
Right now, focus on:
• Hydration (small sips frequently)
• Light, non-spicy food
• Avoid tea/coffee/milk for 24–48 hours
• Monitor whether the loose stools reduce by tomorrow
If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, worsen, or if she develops:
severe stomach pain
vomiting
dizziness
weakness
then she definitely needs personalised evaluation because in older adults, even a simple gut infection can behave unpredictably.
If you want, I can review her symptoms in detail and guide you step-by-step on what to do next, what tests (if any) are needed, and how to stabilise her quickly.
Just book a private consult with me on whatsapp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six, so I can go through everything properly and give you a clear plan.

The combination of continuous burping, loose stools, and stomach ache for the last few days suggests acute gastritis with intestinal irritation.
This can happen due to:
• Mild stomach infection
• Food contamination
• Change in food/water
• Excess gas production
• Acidity flare
• Stress or poor sleep
• Irregular eating
• Heavy/oily/spicy meals
The symptoms are not dangerous, but they are uncomfortable and need proper treatment.
Next Steps
Treatment Plan
1. For Burping & Acidity
Pantoprazole 40 mg (Pan 40 / Pantocid 40)
• Once daily in the morning, empty stomach, for 5–7 days.
Domperidone 10 mg
• Once daily before breakfast for 3–5 days
Helps reduce gas, burping, and stomach bloating.
2. For Loose Motions
ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution)
• Small sips frequently to prevent dehydration.
Racecadotril (100 mg)
• Three times a day, before meals
Helps control loose motions safely.
Probiotic
• Econorm sachet or Vizylac / Darolac
• 1 sachet/capsule twice daily for 3 days
Restores the gut and stops loose stools quicker.
3. For Stomach Pain
Hyoscine (Buscopan 10 mg)
• 1 tablet, up to 3 times a day if needed
Reduces cramping-type pain.
Health Tips
When to Consult a Doctor Urgently
If any of these happen:
• Loose stools > 5–6 times/day for 2 days
• Dehydration, dizziness
• High fever
• Blood in stool
• Severe vomiting
But usually, with the above treatment, symptoms improve within 24–48 hours.
