Stomach burn : this could mean you have gastritis (swelling of the lining of the stomach) or the beginnings of a stomach ulcer. Soda is very irritating to the lining of the stomach because if it's carbonation. I would recommend talking to a primary doctor about medication; things like omeprazol, Zantac, (ranitidine) Pepcid will help and are OTC remedies. If it gets more serious or persists then you may need an endoscopy

A blood test: for H. Pylori might be your next step... this is a bacteria that can infect the stomach and cause gastritis and ulcers. If you have it, you need a 2 week course of antibiotics to clear it. And in the meantime, stop drinking soda!!
