No, cold sores are caused by a virus (Herpes Simplex) and since amoxicillin is an antibiotic, it would have no affect on the virus. Antibiotics only work to kill bacteria, they are not effective against viral infections. There are anti-viral medicines that can be prescribed for and do help relieve cold sores. Ask your doctor if your cold sore could be treated with an anti-viral.
