Hi,

* The burning is related to erosion or irritation of the mucosa of the stomach, oesophagus via the spicy content of the food through the release of the hydrochloric acid.
* Ideal management would consist of

- control of diet food items to avoid spices, non-veg till possible
- regular use of proton pump inhibitors under physician guidance
- avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- avoid stress and anxiety
- further consultation with a physician for the need of upper GI endoscopy in future as per the progress of the condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
