Brief Answer:
Very unlikely. Any pains when urinating?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this whitish urinary discharge. This normally suggest a urinary tract infection but it is unlikely seen the fact that you have already received 30 amoxicillin which is the most commonly used drug for this infection. If you have pains during urination or frequent urination, I will recommend you get a urinary culture to identify the cause of this discharge and treat accordingly.

In all, unlikely to be related to the amoxicillin. May be suggestive of an infection and needs a urine analysis for further precision and treatment.

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.
