Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The difficulty in swallowing can be because of the trauma which might have resulted in ulcer over the mucosa. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can use topical anesthetic like lignocaine and topical analgesics like choline salicylate. You can do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
