Brief Answer:
It could be a GERD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms are typical of something called GERD( gastro esophageal reflux disease). Excessive salivation after eating is also known as water brash.
Orher conditions like tonsil related problem and tumors also cause similar symptoms but the chances very very unlikely in your case.
As a first line management you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
Avoid spicy foods.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. In severe cases you may require an endoscopy.
Wishing all the best
