Throat pain and a scratchy throat for 4 weeks. throat pain on the left side. 1st week diagnosed with strep. 2nd week strep gone. what could this be?

Sore throat: You didn't mention taking antibiotics to treat your Strep throat but most infectious sore throats are caused by viruses which won't respond to antibiotics. Allergies, bad heartburn & mouth breathing are common causes of non-infectious sore throats. See your Family Doc for re-evaluation & appropriate treatment.
