Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your concerns. Noted your history of pain in the abdomen, inability to evacuate the bowel and are a known case of diverticulitis. Amoxicillin is not the drug of choice in such a condition. You may need an antibiotic active against intestinal pathogens like Ofloxacin or cefixime, metronidazole and pro and prebiotics. I would advise you the following in such a situation:Get a clinical evaluation and examination by a general surgeon to have a clinical diagnosis. To undergo the tests like CT scan, of blood, urine and stool. And then only to proceed for proper treatment. I hope this answers your query. Consultation needs charges and the set up cost money hence the charges.
