For this reason, I would recommend having some rest and taking painkillers (acetaminophen or ibuprofen) and an antiacid or PPI (omeprazole, esomeprazole, etc..). If your symptoms persist in the next days, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical check up and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes). Hope you will find this answer helpful!Best regards!
