Hello and thanks for reply.
Please note that it appears that you have candida(fungal)infection in your throat as well as tongue.It is recurrent in nature if not treated well.
It is best to visit your dentist,get culture sensitivity test done.Upon confirmation, anti fungal treatment should be started.
The antibiotics that you are taking now might not help much in this case.Therefore please complete your Amoxicillin course for three days and simultaneously see your dentist for culture sensitivity test for candida.
For now you can do warm saline rinses and use mouth wash like hexidine0.2% after dinner once daily in night.
Hope it helps.
Please let me know for further doubts in this regard.
Thanks.
Take care.
