Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern....

As per your complain due to hard french fries there has been a laceration in the throat as well as the food pipe as you told you had pain until it went down all the way and when anything touches the lacerated area there is pain..
You need not to worry as it will heal gradually and you have to take a few precautions like avoiding hot,spicy and hard foods.
Take soft and bland meals..
Gargle with numbing mouthwashes especially before meals as it will numb some portion of throat and can reduce discomfort while eating..
Take Ibuprofen for pain..
Do warm saline gargles as it will also soothe the throat..
In case if there is no improvement in a week or so consult an ENT expert and get an Endoscopy done and treatment will be planned accordingly..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards..
