Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain

My21year daughter has had throat pain for 8 weeks, she has been dx with reflux esophagitis. She has been on protonix 40 mg twice a day and Carafate 1 gram 4 x per day. She still has no relief, and still gets reflux with burning in her throat immediately after she eats. She has had EGD, hidda scan, upper GI. And no one can figure out why she still has severe throat pain all day long. They also started her on celexa 40 mg per day, thinking it could be nerve related px with throat. Any ideas why still having throat pain, and reflux after 8 weeks of PPI meds.?
