Scared going to die of antibotic resistance had 8 course I think I'm 7 months

I have been on 7 different courses of antibotics in 7 months or less and thy were amoxicillin , (September ) , clyidmcin ( October ) . Cedfur ( November ) had a uti in late November or early December antibotics for that too penicillin ( late December) went to dentist he prescribed that! Early January ( clyidmcin ) again went bc tooth was hurting really bad all the way to ear . February went to get it pulled the sedated me and IV antbotics were givens don't know what kind  And now I went yesterday to make sure didn't have strep throat I didn't still prescribed z- pak to me and my son both took the first does and it's really messing with my stomach really worried going to die or become resistant I didn't know that could happen and I thought u had to have antibotics when my tooth  would hurt bc I thought infection was spreading because I looked on google and have aniexty so it worried me thought I needed them Am I screwed now will antibotics never work again? Scared should I stop taking the zpak and should I stop giving to my 8 mo old son it's really hurting his stomach and giving me gas and Nasuea? And I know too many antibotics are bad but I didn't know something like this could happen no one told me

Under no circumstances should you be giving antibiotics to an 8 month old other than on a physician's orders. Antibiotics interfere with cell reproduction,. Somewhere along the line someone should have taken a culture to identify the specific strain of bacteria.

Hello, it looks like it's your anxiety playing huge role in this.
Why did you give it to your son by the way? Some antibiotics are restricted for people from certain age group.

Regarding the stomach issues, they are very common side effect of antibiotics. Just stop taking them once your course is done, and repair your body's immunity with probiotics, or natural probiotics like cultured yogurt or kefir.

My personal advice, out of personal very very bad experience, if your doctor gives you a new medicine every visit, you might want to change him, especially if he's giving you a lot of antibiotics.
