Lightbulb swallowing...

If this continues to be uncomfortable.... make your doctor give you something.

There are compounded liquids (some are called Kool's) to help with this.
They are mixes of Maalox and lidocaine with or without other ingredients, and often used after radiation for cancer (which can temporarily damage the lining).

The lining of the esophagus should start repair in 24hr, and you should only
have a short time of discomfort there.
