Belching can be related to dietary factors such as overeating or indigestion. White patches inside the mouth can be related to fungal infections or areas of irritation. These symptoms may not necessarily be related but can occur at the same time. Pay attention to all your symptoms, and discuss any worrisome symptoms with a health care provider.
