No, ginger does not trigger peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. Antacid liquid such as mylanta can be tried for your throat and stomach symptom and it should work if the symptom is caused by gastric acidity.

The most common reason for burning like you describe is acid reflux. The best initial approach is to avoid any potential causes that you notice, follow anti-reflux measures and diet, and to try to use antacids to see if they help at all. If they do, then a trial of omeprazole or a similar medicine might be Useful for your doctor to attempt. Good luck.
