Unlikely : At your age this is more likely just a sore derived from the reflux than anything else. An exam using a lighted camera scope could confirm it. In the interim avoid caffeine and laying down after meals (both promote reflux) as well as foods you know to aggravate it. A simple OTC proton pump inhibitor for 2 wks may also help it heal.
