Please check with your doctor ! And in the meantime use some probiotics
One reported side effect of Paxlovid treatment has been a sore throat. The picture is difficult to interpret. However, if this doesn't improve with symptomatic trearment ( cool fluids, yogert , smoothies etc.) and acetaminophen , I suggest you D/U with your primary care physician. All the best
