Brief Answer: Insufficient dose is my opinion Detailed Answer: Hi I think the dose of Amoxycillin is in sufficient. It should have been prescribed for a week. I would suggest to go for a review with the doctor for follow up examination and get full prescription. Meantime you can go for at home nebulization plus salt water gargles. Hope this answers.
