Anytime: It is safe to take probiotics at any time while taking antibiotics as there is some evidence it may help with antibiotic associated diarrhea. Most throat infections should not be treated with antibiotics unless your strep was positive. I would check with your doctor as an antibiotic is more likely to just cause a yeast infection...

Anytime: Your probiotic won't affect the amoxicillin at all. It's safe to take any time. Hope you're feeling better.
