Hello,
It could be an acid reflux. As of now, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
Avoid spicy foods. If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
