Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Your problem is due to heat induced injury to stomach and lower end of food pipe, which will heal in a few days' time.
Take antacid gel 30ml four times daily for 3 days, along with an anti-acid drug such as, Lansoprazole or Rabeprazole for 2 weeks. You will be Ok.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
