Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux from the stomach. It can be triggered by the fried food. I suggest to use a medication to lower the stomach acidity such as Omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast. I also suggest to use Maalox three times a day. I suggest to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms such as fried food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
