Is Amoxicillin ideal in case of cough and sore throat?
Patient: I was a soprano.  3 weeks ago, I came down with a cold, starting with s sore throat.  Did not miss a day of work, since I am a teacher.  Did not lose my voice neither.  Got a prescription of Amoxicillin, 500 mg., and took it for a week and started to cough.  Ever since then, I can't even hitthe lowest note.  I can talk but can't sing at all.  Anything I should do to gain back my singing voice?
