A 41-year-old female asked:

My daughter was on amoxicillin for 3 days prior to being exposed to strep. is it still possible she can get it even though she's been on her meds?

Unlikely: Since strep is killed off by amoxicillin, she is not going to get a new strep infection while on it.It will not prevent her from getting a virus that sometimes mimics a strep infection.

My daughter was prescribed 1.5 ml amoxicillin (400mg/ 5 ml) twice a day for 10 days for strep. She is 24 pounds, but that seems like a low dose. She takes her last dose tomorrow, but we still have 1/2 a bottle!
