Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the burnt oesophagus. I recommend using antacids daily.
I also recommend using PPI medication such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning before breakfast. If the symptoms continue I recommend an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
