What Causes Dysphagia And Severe Itching In The Throat While On Terifrac?

My mother is 82 years old and an Alzheimer s patient. She suffered a hip bone fracture - and underwent a surgery . Her condition deteriorated very significantly with Dysphagia and now she has developed severe OCD sysmptoms. She puts 3 fingers in her mouth and tries to reach her throat to scratch it . After the surgery as the doctors had started her on Resperidone to control her agressiveness, which has been discontinued after a month. She was also on Terifrac injection for increasing her bone recovery. Can Terifrac cause problems with throat including Dysphagia.
