Possible viral caus: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) can work if your symptoms are caused by a bacterial infection. I have a feeling that your illness is due to a virus and will take 7-10 days to improve.

Reasonable: That is a common effective antibiotic. Takes time to recover from the other symptoms.
