Amoxicilllin is useless against cold sores. Amozycillin helps to kill infectious bacteria, but cold sores are caused by a different 'germ': a virus.
No, it does not help cold sores.

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.

Which antibiotic is best foe fighting the common cold?

Depends on how bad of a cold you have and what your symptoms are. Normal colds are affiliated with sinus infections/throat infections, etc. and can usually be treated with Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Penicillin, etc. Stronger infections need Augmentin (Amoxicillin/Clavulanate), Zithromax (Azithromycin), Levaquin, etc. The common cold is caused by a virus, and antibiotics don't affect viruses- they only combat bacterial infections.
