[/INST] Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magicWith this presentation, I think it might be related to gastritis or gastro-esophageal reflux disease. These conditions result from acid secretion in the stomach. Treatment would require an antacid (like topaal, maalox, tums, alluminium hydroxide, etc) and another drug to reduce acid secretion like omeprazole, ranitidine, cimetidine or pantoprazole. Also, lifestyle changes like avoiding spicy foods, fatty foods, caffeine-containing foods, pepper and alcohol would be of help.I hope that answers your queryI wish you well </s>
