What?: The sore throat could be a cold or upper respiratory infection. Looks like you are on Zithromax, so that should help. If the sore throat continues, see your doctor, as some STDs can cause sore throats, and I see you were treated for STD. I'm not sure what you mean by R lyric is swollen? Ask again with more details and we'll try to answer. Good luck!

Lyric?: Not sure what a "right lyric" is, but sore throat for 1 week without other symptoms is rarely serious. However if not improving by 2nd week, should probably be evaluated. It can be caused by strep or gonorrhea (if having oral sex), which can be tested for at the clinic.
