It seems like u are having GERD gastro esophageal reflux disease. Avoid spicy foods, drinks 4-5litres of water/day.
Burping is bcz of that only. U need antacid syrups and medication. Cancer is a very uncommon condition for ur age & ur symptoms. So dont panic. Take online consultation for further management
