Answers:
It might have been, yes..
It's possible that the improperly chewed food scratched your esophagus on the way down exposing the raw lining to the acid in your stomach.. Stomach acid has a pH of under 2 and is fully capable of eating a hole in your esophagus or stomach if it is stripped of it's usual protective layer of mucus..
You can try an antacid product of some kind (whatever is sold as a heartburn remedy in your part of the world), that may help..
Chances are that it will disappear in a few days to a week but if it gets worse, see a doctor..
Hope this helps..
