Been taking amoxicillin for 3 days (upp. respitory infec.) today ive been coughing horribly, puking lots of mucus. could meds not be working?

Depends: If you have a viral infection amoxicillin would not have any effect. You can get tested at your PCP office or urgent care for flu virus with a rapid test and in case that it is positive stop the antibiotics.
