Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Yes definitely, Amoxycilline is an antibiotic of choice in upper respiratory tract infections.
As an adult dose of 500 mg 3 times a day for 5 days is advisable.
Steam inhalation, warm salt water gargles will be of help.
Please avoid deep fried foods, bakery products and refined sugars and cold beverages.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
