You are probably having the symptoms due to either hot food or acidity. Another possibility is allergy to the food item.
If you are allergic to eggs, take an anti allergic otherwise Drink some cold milk and take an antacid.
Avoid any aerated drinks or spices that might aggravate the symptoms.
Relax, the symptoms will subside in sometime.
