Hi sir,
Please let me know reason why you were on antacid treatment.
The reason for burning sensation might be due to

2. Dry mouth due to tablets you were taking (antacids) and this leads to gum diseases
3. There might be decay tooth too, needs restoration or RCT whichever needed.

Report to a dentist, go for professional cleaning after which confirm the reason for those burning sensation and proceed with the treatment option.
Health Tips
Taking antacids for more than 2 weeks is harmful, please check with your general physician too.
