Several things don't compute. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is not recommended or normally used to treat latent syphilis, but it might work. "Lymphadenitis" is not likely explained by longstanding syphilis. And at your age (19), this means you would have been infected when 7 years old (??). Are you or your doctor sure of the diagnosis? Positive syphilis blood tests? Post a new question with details.
