I still sometimes feel something stuck in the left side of throat. Do i need to do tests again, these were the reading after one week of antibiotics treatment.

CRP is within normal range so you don't have to worry, ESR is not very reliable test , continue doing warm salt water or betadine gargle twice a day ,it should settle down . If develop any fever then consult a Doctor .
