welcome to hcm,
thank you for your query both amoxicillin and maxichlor can be used simultaneously. but if you are taking amoxicillin for the past seven says i will not suggest you to continue it.
see your treating physician he may order for a sinus x-ray to know the severity of the congestion and he may prescribe a higher antibiotic (cephalosporins) for reducing the symptoms. some patients even may need iv antibiotics for 3 days.
wish you a speedy recovery
with regards
Dr.Amarnath
