How Long Does Amoxicillin Take To Show Its Effect?
48 to 72 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
It takes at least 48 to 72 hours for the antibiotics like amoxicillin to overwhelm the bacterial infection if the bacteria are susceptible to amoxicillin. If the fever subsides after 48 hours along with improvement of the symptoms associated with the sore throat then you can be positive that the antibiotics are working. If the fever persists after 72 hours then you should consult your doctor to take a throat swab culture and probably for a change in the empiric therapy.
