Your symptoms are not the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction and probably you are suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder which gets triggered by thyroid medications. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits. Continue thyroid medications
Next Steps
Consult nearby endocrinologist or ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
