Yes: Yes, there is no reason why the strep throat should have anything to do with your pain medication.

I started meds for strep on 2/8 at night with my first dose. I take 500mg amox 2x a day. My throat definitely looks better than what it did but its still somewhat sore. Is this normal? Or could it be a regular sore throat on top of strep recovering?
