Hello Ms XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of acidity (mild gastritis).

As of now, you can take medications such as rabeprozole or omeprazole, which would help in reducing the burning sensations.

Also, you should avoid spicy food. Please avoid fasting and take meals on time.

Avoid excessive stress, as this can increase the acid production in the stomach.

If you get better with these, there is no need to see a doctor. If symptoms continue, you may consult a doctor.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.

Best wishes,
