Give it a few days: Always better to take a swab, get a reading to give you the proper medication Since you said you just started taking amoxicillin give it a couple of days to take effect After that go back to your Doctor and have it checked out

10 days: Pain in the throat may be caused by a variety of inflammations If the cause is bacteria, Penicillin taken by mouth for 10 days is the most common antibiotic treatment prescribed for infections such as strep throat. Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids and be patient.
