i’m not really sure…i know that doctors prescribe amoxcillin for strep throat sometimes…but i never had tonsilitis or strep because my tonsils were taken out when i was six. Ask a doctor.
Don’t take any left over Amoxicillin you have. Taking partial does of antibiotics causes them to be ineffective in treating future illnesses and won’t do a damn bit of good. You have to go to a doctor and they will tell you what to take.
Amoxicillin is used to treat infections due to organisms that are susceptible to the effects of amoxicillin. Common infections that amoxicillin is used for include infections of the middle ear, tonsils, throat, larynx (laryngitis), bronchi (bronchitis), lungs (pneumonia), urinary tract, and skin.
I had a tonsilitis, Amoxicillin does work, i took it 3x a day for 7 days. but it better to consult your doctore to have the right antibiotic. Some bacteria are resistant to "cillin" meds, you might need other antibiotic.
