Not really: You have received the correct dose of amoxil, maximum for adult and the correct duration at 10 days. If you still have sore throat and your throat culture is positive for strep, your doctor may try Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) or a cephalosporin to treat for resistant strep infection.

Still ???: If your doc has swabbed your throat & you still have live strep, you still have it & another med could be tried. A quick test wouldn't be accurate since it is positive with dead strep germs. If your throat is just sore, you may have concurrent infection by something like mono. You were treated with enough to kill strep & should have a proper evaluation before you treat again.
