Flu or strep throat got rapid strep text came bag neg prescribed z pak anywas?

Wondering if I should take the z pak because 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? Now I'm worried about c.diffe or something because I read about it now that's another reason I'm worried to take antibotics

My experience with myself and children is the Zpaks are hard to handle for alot of kids.
My kids get diarreah. I always stop and now won't return due to stomach ache on day 2.
I have found calling the doctor in the a.m., reporting this common issue of upset stomach, they will gladly allow you to come in, get a shot.
A few seconds of pain, immediate relief within 12 hours. My kids ASK for shots now when told they need antibiotics.
Bribe them with Milkshakes afterwards, they will thank you for the 4 seconds of pain that ends in health and pleasure.
