Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms sore throat, fever, chills, vomiting and night sweats are indicative of viral infection..
As the viral infection subsides once the virus completes its cycle in human body, therefore the symptoms have started subsiding and you need not to worry as the remaining symptoms will resolve soon..
White patches are not present on your tonsils as they are commonly seen in case of bacterial infection..
Intake of Amoxicillin is not needed as it treats bacterial infection while you seems to have viral..
As of now you should take a combination of Ibuprofen lozenge every Acetaminophen to reduce pain and swelling of glands..
You should do warm saline gargles..
Suck a throat every 4 hours and chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..
Avoid spicy and chilled food and sip on warm water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
