<bot>: Welcome to Chat Doctor, 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 Chat Doctor.
