Should I be worried about my throat pain a month after COVID?

I started showing symptoms just three days after Christmas, and went through probably the worst sickness I had ever had. The main symptom was a “razor-blade” sore throat. But it was also accompanied by extreme nasal congestion and the obvious loss of taste and smell.

These symptoms carried on for about three days before I went to the doctor and had an exam done. They didn’t do a COVID test during that exam, but I tested myself at home and the result was positive. I was prescribed amoxicillin for a bacterial ear and throat infection most likely caused by COVID. After taking the medication my primary symptoms went away after about a week, meaning I was now two weeks after my first show of symptoms. Which leaves us around the first week of January.

I started to get a very serious cough, which I was worried would turn into pneumonia or an upper respiratory infection, but luckily the severe coughing went away after a week.

This leads me to the point of my post, and my most major concern. I began getting this strange throat pain on the left side of my throat, just at the back of my tongue. It remained for a few days. It wasn’t too much of a bother, and I began to think maybe it was just a minor case of tonsillitis caused by COVID (just my assumption from a google search). But despite the pain going away for a bit, it came back and began to get more severe. For the past two weeks, including the date of this post, I’ve had the pain in my throat shifting from left to right, and sometimes both, but primarily left. It feels like it’s right at the top of throat, right on the sides of the back of my tongue. I want to clarify that it’s nowhere near as painful and debilitating as the sore throat that came with COVID, but it’s quite irritating, and it doesn’t seem to go away. I’ve definitely noticed some swelling and redness, and it’s become painful to stick my tongue out because of it. So my questions are: Is this something anybody else has dealt with? Should I go to the doctor again? Will it go away on its own? Are there any home remedies?
