You have had strep throat for 6 days and have been taking amoxicillin and it will not go away?

If you have been taking the amoxycillin exactly as prescribed, it isn't working, and you need to go back to your doctor. Amoxycillin works well in most cases of strep throat. As you know, there are hundreds of antibiotics available, and each one will knock out certain germs. There are millions of types of germs. If you were very ill when your dctor saw you, he would want to start treatment straight away instead of taking throat swabs and waiting for 4 to 5 days for the results. If you have been taking your amoxycillin and it hasn't helped, then you need another kind of antibiotic. Not all antibiotics will work for a sore throat or anything else. So you are preescribed the one most likely to work, but it is an educated guess on behalf of the doctor. If it doesn't work, he will go on to Plan B.

I have had a reoccuring cold-like virus that antibiotics haven't helped go away Now I am waking up in the middle of the night with phlemy chest coughs that give me pain afterwards please any advice?

Unfortunately antibiotics do not work on viruses. So you actually may be harming your immune system by taking them. You can take things like "Airborne", up your vitamin C intake, drink a lot of fluids which will help thin the mucus, breath in steam to help break up the congestion, and my personal favorite over-the-counter decongestant Zicam. It is going to take a while (a few weeks normally to be completely over all the symptoms )to get over the cold now that it has settled in your chest but if you do all the non medicinal things listed everyday or multiple times a day many people start feeling better in a few days.

Second generation cephalosporins are also very effective for ear infections. Sometimes anaerobic organisms can cause ear infection especially if is chronic. In that case metronidazole may be useful. Infection due to mycoplasma may be treated with erythromycin or another drug from the same group of drugs.
