Brief Answer:
Seems to be acute pharyngitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having throat pain. I would like to ask you few more details.

Is there any neck swelling (lymph node enlargement)?
Is your throat pain associated with change of voice?

Kindly get back to be with the details.

As per your clinical details, it appears to be acute pharyngitis.

Acute pharyngitis, most commonly due to bacteria, which are sensitive to penicillins (amoxcillin).

Do not worry, its not a cancer (throat cancer is uncommon in your age, not associated with any other symptoms (neck swelling, hoarseness of voice).

Redness with painful raw area suggests active infection.

I suggest the following measures, to overcome your throat pain.
1. Needs change of antibiotic (as you are resistant to augmentin). kindly revisit your treating doctor for the same.
2. salt water gargling.
3. Take pain killer, like tab. dolo (paracetamol 650 mg- safer for hyperacidity).

Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
