Hi. Read and understood your query and history.
The causes of burning in esophagus after thyroidectomy may be related to the stress and anxiety that you must have gone through before, during and after surgery causing GERD.
Take the proper diet, with no spicy no hot foods.
Ranitidin
Domperidone to regularise motility
Antacid gel every the hours.
Proper 8 hours sleep
Early dinner.
Small frequent meals.
Check thyroid functions again to getva proper dose adjustments
You will be fine.
Review endoscopy to see the progress.
