Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
it could be due to acid reflux. Avoid hot and spicy foods, you can take antacid drugs like omeprazole or pantoprazole. If symptoms persist consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. An endoscopic examination would be helpful.
Thanks
