Hello and welcome to HCM,
The antibiotic augmentin has controlled the infection of the throat which caused sore throat.
However, an anti-pyretic has to be added to control the fever.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of medication to control fever.
In addition, good hydration has to be maintained to prevent dehydration.
Thanks and take care
