Better not: A cough makes a strep throat less likely. It is better to see your provider and be evaluated, because if you do need antibiotics the pills you have won't be enough for full treatment.

Viral infection: The combination of sore throat, hoarseness, and dry cough are almost always due to a viral infection and antibiotics are not effective for these infections. If symptoms persist a throat and chest exam along with a throat culture would be advisable.

Go to the Doctor: There is a major bacterial resistance epidemic brewing in the world. Five amoxicillin, if it is the right antibiotic to treat the infection you have, is only one eighth of the needed pills. This will lead to getting worse with a bug that may in deed be resistant to amoxicillin. Please go to the doctor.
