Hello,

It is due to conditions like gastritis and acid reflux.

As of now you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists you can consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
