Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take Zantac

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

The burning sensation in the throat could be either due to trauma induced by the pill while passing down the throat or one of the side effect of the medicine (dry mucosa).

You need to drink plenty of warm water to reduce the inflammation and moisten the throat. Also, you can take Zantac to treat acidity if any.

Hope I have answered your query; Revert back to me if you have any follow up queries.
