Brief Answer:
Do a throat culture.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you need to do a throat culture to check for bacteria (coci) which can cause this sore throat.
You have used augmentin before and it didn't work so it can be a resistant infection.
Doing a throat culture can find the kind of antibiotic which can be used to eradicate the infection.
We use ceftriaxone injections empirically when augmentin is not working.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
