I have an upper respiratory infection.  I have been on 875 mg amoxicillin  for nearly four days.  I don't feel much better my throat is still sore.  I am coughing up yellow c**p, my head is still stuffy and my chest is congested, breathing is not great.  Should I go back to the doctor or urgent care.  I feel like c**p.

Hi I'm not sure if your doctor has explained anything to you about the antibiotics but it normally takes around 2 days for them to get into your system and around another 2 for them to start to work. I take it that your doctor gave you a 7 day course of them to take?
I would say by maybe day 5 or 6 you should start to feel the affect me them .
Hope this is some help.

Yes, you should go back to your doctor. He may shift your medications to a higher generation. Other than taking medications, you may help yourself get better by staying hydrated, eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
