Yes. Antibiotics can be toxic n high doses.

Amoxicillin overdose symptoms may include short breath, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. If you suspect Amoxicillin overdose, seek medical attention right away. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you can. However, if it is just about time for your next dose, skip the one you forgot and go on with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose.

"Never say never". I suppose it is probably possible but it would be very difficult. A very large dose would probably mostly cause stomach upset and diarrhea that may be severe.

A normal adult oral dose of amoxicillin would be about 1.5 to 4 grams per day. The closely related drug penicillin, in comparison, is often given intravenously in doses of 4 grams every few hours.

YES, if you have a severe allergy to penicillian then it is possible to die from taking amoxicillin, as it contains penicillian,

however, generally it is safe.

Yes, if you take too much and don't have a bacterial infection it might kill you.
