Hello,

It is due to gastritis secondary to acid reflux.

As a first line management, you can try antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.

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