Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

From the description of your symptoms, it appears that you are having a gastritis / acid peptic disease. Omeprazole is a medication which can reduce the excessive acid production and thereby provide relief.

For symptomatic relief, you can also take an antacid syrup like Mucaine gel or Gelusil. Alternatively you can drink a glass of cold milk, which also has antacid properties and hence can provide some relief. It is better to avoid tea since, it can sometimes be a gastric irritant.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
