Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you have damaged your oesophageal mucosa by burning it. There is nothing to do but just waiting for it to heal itself. Eat slowly by chewing food properly and eat liquid food to let it heal soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
