Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please continue with Amoxicillin for another 1 week. this will improve your symptoms. But generally antibiotic are not prescribed in sore throat. You can have antiallergic Levocetirizine for 2 week. And if not taken still now please start Betadine gargle after food.
