Hi,
It could be due to acid reflux.
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.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
