The delicate mucus membranes of the mouth and esophagus are easily inflamed with excessively "hot food", and the pain from this will quickly resolve usually, but if still sore in a couple days, get a referral to an ENT specialist.

It will heal by itself as long as you do not add to the injury. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
