Can I take amoxicillin within a few days before surgery?

DesiBK13
My breast augmentation & rhinoplasty is 4 days away. I'm starting to feel a little sick with a sore throat, I know I'm supposed to quit certain meds for two weeks leading up to the surgery. The list I was given of meds to avoid doesn't show Amoxicillin, is that harmful before surgery? Last thing I want is to feel sick during my recovery.
