Is Amoxicillin Ideal In Case Of Cough And Sore Throat?

I was a soprano. 3 weeks ago, I came down with a cold, starting with s sore throat. Did not miss a day of work, since I am a teacher. Did not lose my voice neither. Got a prescription of Amoxicillin, 500 mg., and took it for a week and started to cough. Ever since then, I can't even hit
the lowest note. I can talk but can't sing at all. Anything I should do to gain back my singing voice?

* Amoxicillin does work better for upper and lower respiratory tract
conditions but as you have already consumed it for a week and current
symptoms intensity demands change of the antibiotic .

* Additional guidelines

- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day
- Drink plenty of liquids .
- Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of oily , sugar , spicy .

Hope this may help you .
Wishing you fine recovery .
