Hello,
It can be gastritis like inflammation of stomach mucosa.
For that, you need to prescribed pantoprazole like antacid and antispasmodic drug like dicyclomine.
Avoid excess spicy foods and other gastric irritants. It's advisable to avoid stress as well.
If no improvement with medication than USG abdomen scan should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
