Hello! I read carefully the complaint of you father!
He has burning sensation in stomach , and may be it is related with a gastritis or something else , but sure to put a diagnose and then treat these symptoms, he must do the gastroscope!
It is a invasive procedure, but commonly it is done under sedation, so he will not have pain during the procedure!
I wish a fast recovery!
All the best!
