Yeast Overgrowth Candida

Is it true that antibiotics can weaken your imune system?
I heard somewhere that taking antibiotics can weaken your imune system.. Is that true? I have to take antibiotics for a tooth/gum infection and I was wondering if they are going to weaken my imune system, or is it if you take them too much.. I also heard that antibiotics can lead to a thing called candida.. A Yeast overgrowth, any information on this question would be great. Thanks.
I guess I should add that my prescription is called amoxicillin 500mg every 8 hours (24pills)
You can build up an immunity to the antibiotic if you take it too frequently. This is not good, as it can hurt your defenses against certain illnesses that can only be treated with antibiotics that you have built up an immunity to.
The Yeast Overgrowth is very real – some antibiotics (usually the really strong ones – Levaquin, Cipro, Zithromax) can cause yeast infections in both men and women, and also “Thrush” witch is the same thing as candida. It is like a yeast infection, but in your mouth and is very painful. I have had this several times from very strong anitbiotics, but without the antibiotics I might not be sitting here able to type about it…. It is very painful and can cause your tongue to crack open.
Hope this information helps you some.
Edit: Amoxicillin is strong, but not the harshest I’ve ever taken. I’ve never came down with thrush taking this one.
