Very painful to swallow since last night. no insurance but i have amoxicillin 500 mg. 36 year old male, 156 pounds. what would an appropriate dosage?

Exam: You should be checked and examined. Self medication can be dangerous. If you have a strept throat the correct dose of amoxicillin is 500mg 3 times daily for at least 7-10 days. I strongly advise a bacterial culture and exam.
