You seem to have injured your pharynx and epiglottis while inserting finger. This may have caused ulceration of your pharynx causing pain. You may need to take symptomatic treatment like painkillers and antiseptic mouth gargle for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
