I would say, since they are still babies, that future eggs are going to be "okay". How old are they though? If they are anywhere close to laying (say 15-18 weeks), I would probably observe part if not all of a "withdrawal period", especially since it's upsetting you so much to even think about it! This period of "throwing out the eggs" could give you a chance to crack them open and thoroughly investigate the internals of the eggs you will be getting.
My chickens only started to lay 6 weeks ago (and we are still waiting on one hold out), so I am by no means an "expert", but it took my other half several weeks to work up the courage to eat an egg that came "straight from the chickens rump"! I spent the first 2-3 weeks making him store bought eggs while I ate the good ones, we fight over the few eggs we get now though! He still gets a little "ooked" when the eggs are still warm...
I believe the medicated chick feed also carries a warning on it about swapping it out several weeks before egg production to clear the meds from the eggs...as for meat birds, I think the medicated to non-medicated swap is reccomended for 6 weeks before butcher. Your eggs shouldn't have anything "wrong" with them once the meds and illness have cleared!
