Admittedly, my experience is with a different kind of thrush, but antibiotics and drawing agents are used for treating the kind I know about. I'd say that the antibiotics are a good idea -- your doctor is probably right about a virus not being quite so agressively long acting.
Also, salt water rinses/gargles should help. Did you find them helpful? Another thought, yucky as it sounds, is hydrogen peroxide gargles. (Dilute HP gargles, that is, and DO NOT SWALLOW IT! LoL)
I hope it clears up soon, you've had your share of yuckkies this year already -- now it's time to let someone else have the baddies for a while. Feel better soon.
