Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Amoxycillin is not effective for all bacterial infections. Hemophilus influenza is resistant to it. According to your present history you are still having bacterial infection most likely. So another antibiotic like Azithromycin should be administered in such case. Mucolytics , NSAIDs and anti histamines also can be taken along. A review with your doctor is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
