ok now that you have started amoxycillin do not stop it before the course is overnext time for a two day cold...do not take antibiotics only if there is an infection should you take it do some small home remedy measures they make yuo feel better..like steam inhalation. If the headache is not bearable, then take a paracetamol.
Hi,
Thanks for query,
You are taking right medicines,
never take antibiotic by own unless prescribed by doctor.
you continued for 3-4 days,you will be alright.
Avoid fried and junk food and cod drinks.
ok and bye.

It is always better to take the medications prescribed to you rather than self medications. If it has not helped there can be possibilities like you are not taking correct dose and frequency of edicines, or the organism causing the infection is become resistant to the medication you are taking.
