Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

You seem to be suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI).

Usually antibiotics are not required for this, but since you have started Amoxicillin, i would recommend you to continue that twice daily for 3 days.

Along with it, add a combination of Levocetrizine and Montelukast once daily in night.

Do steam inhalation and gargles three times a day.

In case you develop fever, you can take Paracetamol for that purpose.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.

Stay Healthy.
