Brief Answer:
You're already taking too many painkillers
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You haven't made clear whether the pain is constant or when swallowing only. Do you have swollen lymph nodes. Is it visible or palpable only? Has your voice changed? Do you feel shortness of breath?
Pharyngitis may cause symptoms likes the ones you've described. Sometimes the pain is so severe that even drinking some water can become a big trouble. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are usually potent enough to alleviate the pain. Ketorolac is a NSAID. If it's potency is not enough for you then you concomitant use of paracetamol (acetaminophen) may have additive pain-relieving effect. Oxycodon is also a potent drug. If added to the above regimen then you've got yourself the highest possible analgetic effect that such a case asks for. Oral or liquid won't make a significant difference.
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, that is a drug to fight bacterial infection. If it's viral, it won't make any difference. If it's bacterial it will probably help.
I hope I've helped!
