Hi
I think it will take time for you to completely get over your symptoms. Persistence of pain does not mean the infection is still there because other symptoms that will orientate to sepsis are not present.If i were your treating Doctor, i will add an anti-inflammatory pain medication like ibuprofen to augmentin and observe for some days.Also, you need to drink enough water.
Wish you a speedy recovery
