Hello,
It is due to gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management, you can try antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
