A doctor has provided 1 answer

I wonder if it was a documented Strept infection, however it looks like you did not have adequate dosing. It should have been twice daily; and the reoccurence may be because of inadequate treatment or it could be that the sore throat is due to a bacteria that is not sensitive to amoxicillin and a different antibiotic with adequate course of treatment may be beneficial. Sinusitis is possible.
