Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux disease.
I suggest to use a gastro protector such as Omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast.
I also suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day.
I suggest to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms and drink a lot of liquids.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
