Not unexpected: Covid related upper airway or throat irritation is not a bacterial process & random use of antibiotics does little more than give you something to do. A common & effective home treatment uses salty water in a brine solution to gargle & spit out. This helps strip out damaged tissue & allows fresher/healing tissues to come to the surface.

Follow up with PCP: I would finish the amoxicillin, continue with increased liquids, increased rest and follow up with your PCP. Your may have a resistance to the amoxicillin.
