Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, usually tecta aren't associated with any of such side effects like throat irritation rather it's used to treat GERD which causes such irritation.

However, local allergic reaction or angioedema may be ruled out which can again be triggered by even any substance if person is hypersensitive to it.

I suggest you to have an otolaryngologist review to look deep in the throat to look for any local pathology as well as any signs of local allergic inflammation.

Meanwhile skipping the drug to see whether symptoms improve or not may be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
