The causes of pharyngitis are numerous. Amoxicillin is used to treat "Strep throat" due to Group A Streptococcus. Amoxicillin will not help if it is caused by a virus. If you are not improving check with your doctor again.: The causes of pharyngitis are numerous. Amoxicillin is used to treat "Strep throat" due to Group A Streptococcus.
