Hi,

This symptom could be from some form of stomach lining inflammation. For that initially antibiotic and Antacid course can be prescribed. If no improvement, then ultrasonography or endoscopy like investigation needed for further work up.
Meanwhile, he can avoid gastric irritating like excess spicy foods and smoking. It's advisable to avoid stress as well. cooked oatmeal will help in soothing stomach.

Hope I have answered your query.
