Hi,
Most probably it is due to severe gastric reflux. As a first line of management you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid spicy foods.
If symptoms persist, you have to consult a gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy done to look for any lesion or tumors of esophagus( food pipe).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
