Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Amoxicillin is one of the recommended antibiotics for presumed streptococcal infection.In recommended and prescribed doses it is safe to take it.I think platelets are 1.66 lakhs /microliter ( not 166), it is in normal range.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing youy son speedy recovery.
