Brief Answer:
Amoxicillin is also good for lung infections!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this cough with phlegms. This probably sounds like an infection which needs antibiotics. Being on amoxicillin already means there is no need for further antibiotics at this time. Simply continue the drugs as prescribed as they can treat both ear and lung infections caused by bacteria.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
