Thank you for consulting HCM.
Yes it is likely that there was trauma to the lining of your esophagus (food pipe)and it is causing pain while swallowing. You should avoid taking solid food for 3-4 days to let it heal and have semi solid food and liquids for a few days like custard jelly porridge soup etc. Hopefully you will be fine in a few days.
