Does Amoxicillin Cure Viral Infections?

I was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday by the doctor. He gave me some medicine, which include amoxicillin. But I heard that 90% of bronchitis was caused by viruses, I know antibiotics only cures bacterial infections, so does it mean the doctor has given me the wrong medicine?
