Sore throat alternating sides, hurts to yawn and swallow on the specific side that hurts that day. finished a zpak and still persisting. any ideas?

The majority of throat infections are viral & these self-heal over time at their own pace. Unless you were tested & found to have strep A the antibiotic was likely of no use. The med in a zpac linger in your system for about a week after the last dose. I would give it some time.
