One professor of paediatrics from US had written a book in late 1970's, 'Infectious Diseases of paediatrics'. He called ampicillin (and of course amoxicillin) as 'poor choice' to treat the sore throat. The reason was given that at times, you have Epstein Bar virus causes sore throat. When ampicillin (or amoxicillin) is given to such patient, 100 % patients get rash on the body. So you should use the penicillin V to treat the sore throat. Alternately the azithromycin.

Does amoxicillin provide immediate symptom relief for strep throat?
Like any antibiotic, amoxicillin will help to break down the infection in your tonsils, but it will certainly not have immediate relief. In general, it takes between 5-10 days of taking amoxicillin to be rid of strep throat. For an almost immediate relief of the pain I would first try taking some pain pills (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Alive, ect..). Another good remedy is to make a hot cup of green tea with some honey in it. The green tea helps reduce the swelling for quite a while. This seems to relieve a lot of people when they have strep throat. Hope this helps
