Hey Ruby

Depends what kind of infection. They can linger in the body for sometime, or at least make you feel ill for sometime.

I'm always feeling ill, and have diagnosed myself with so many different things, but all have come back negative or normal, so I think it is the constant state of concern and mind tricks which make us think something is wrong.

You should always take antibiotics as you are told to. If you take them less, they won't do their job, or won't fight off the infection, so, make sure you take them as directed.

It could get worse on it's own, that's what they antibiotics are there for.

Not sure about infections spreading, depends what it is.

Not sure about thyroid either, but usually a significant change in results would make a difference, if you are borderline, or the Dr didn't suggest to treat it, I would say it's not related.

Lots of Vitamins and exercise will keep your body fit and well. Lots of fluids. Good diet (though I'm terrible at this!), etc etc.

Hope that helps a little bit

I had one for months that kept coming back, but you need to take the antibiotics as it says on the bottle or they won't work at all.
