Hello,

Possible causes are like aspiration of saliva while eating or throat irritation while eating or infection of throat or larynx etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Avoid cool drinks and ice creams intake. Eat slowly after proper chewing food. If symptoms have not improved, please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
