your query is somewhat unusual. Normally if food is too hot generally it is thrown out of mouth thorough spinal reflex immediately. However by chance you have swallowed, you may have burning sensation from oral cavity to stomach. Normally our digestive walls protected with mucosa and some mucus over it. If you feel burning constant and pain is continuous, you must consult doctor immediately. If pain is decreasing and not continuous, you can take over the counter medicines like rantac or pentoprazole for 2 days. Even after these if pain continue , you should consult the doctor.
