Yes antibiotics are bad for your system, but not taking them is worse.  Talk to your doctor about starting on a probiotic to help with the negative side effects of antibiotics.

You need to relax, this is not something to insanely worry about.  I would recommend seeing your doctor in person so that you get the proper treatment.

Did you doctor examine your throat?  Usually if they can see that the trush stops in your mouth then they will say that you can just do the swish and spit.
