thanks for posting your query to hcm.
Infection in toe could be because of bacterial or fungal . amoxicillin is a antibacterial agent ,will not treat yeast infection . further I would like to suggest you that you should first undergone culture and sensitivity examination of your infected site and than start antibiotic s per the sensitivity report. Injudicious use of antibiotic may leads to drug resistance . I suggest you to consult a general surgeon and take treatment under his guidence .
hope it will help you .
