Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your irritation of throat can be most likely from gastric acid reflux. Amoxycillin can give gastric irritation also. So taking a proton pump inhibitor like esomeprazole will be helpful for this. Warm saline gargle will be helpful to get relief. You can also use throat lozenges.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
