Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic.
With this presentation, I think the problem is coming from acid secretion in the stomach. it may be gastritis or peptic ulcer. I would advise you try antacids in association with another drug like omeprazole, pantoprazole, ranitidine or cimetidine for about 2 weeks. It would be important to do a certain laboratory test called H. pylori test to be sure that this bacteria is not the cause of this problem. If the test is positive, you would need a special combination of drugs to eradicate it.
I hope that helps
I wish you good health
