The amoxicillin: Shouldn't delay your period - but being sick with strep could. Please let your gyn know about your spotting issues.

I have had pink-ish orange spotting for the last two days, and am 16 days from my next period. I'm also on amoxicillin for strep throat for another 5 days and have had a few side effects. Could this be another side effect, or something else?

My 6 year old has been on cefdinir for four days for strep throat. Her breath still smells badly and is still red with white pus spots. Is this normal? We skipped amoxicillin because it didnt kill it last time she had strep?
