How long should I keep experiencing frequent belching after an endoscopy?

Patient's question:

Could you please help me translate the following content into English? The line breaks marked with "" do not need to be translated and should be returned as is. All other Chinese text should be translated into English:
"Please ask the doctor, I had an endoscopy last September, and after that, I've been constantly burping, just like when I burped after the endoscopy. It's still happening now. Sometimes I can't burp, and it feels very uncomfortable, like there's a lot of food stuck in my chest. What kind of condition is this? I've taken many medications and had IV drips, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really frustrated."

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is due to damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, which prevents clear Qi from rising and turbid Qi from descending. The upward reversal of turbid Qi causes belching. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese herbal formulas such as bituminous sulfur, black jujubes, walnuts, gardeniae, angelica sinensis, cardamom, and magnolia bark for treatment, which can quickly cure the condition. I hope you receive proper treatment and recover soon!
