Brief Answer:
May be an acid reflux - Over the counter antacids

Detailed Answer:
Hi..this could be an acid reflux. You can give her over the counter antacids and see if it relieves her.
Try to avoid cheesy and spicy food for another 3-4 days.
But if it is not helping or if she is vomiting and not feeling like she is having appetite, then please get back.
