Strep throat. A lot of pain in throat.

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

I started out with sinus infection. Then my throats starting hurting. I went to dr and they said strep. I started augmentin yesterday (I have had three doses) and about to take 4th pill. The pain in my throat is worse and my tonsils are huge with yellow pus covering them. I have been on May antibiotics the last year due to chronic sinusitis. Do you think it is too early to know if antibiotics are working or not?
