Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice
When u take food after a prolonged period of fasting then sometimes there occurs sudden pain in the throat. It is due to sudden relaxation of the pharyngeal muscles. Don't fast for such prolonged periods. Break the fast after taking water or juice not by taking heavy food. You can take Pantoprazole tablet before food for decreasing the pain. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
