Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation In The Throat While On Pravastatin

I am experiencing the smell of cigarettes and burning throat from the smell and no one is smoking. I can actually taste it as well. This come and goes. The only thing I can think of is that My Pravastatin prescription change from 40 mg to 80 and the pill looks different.
