Infection goes away: Treatment approaches to lyme disease are sometimes controversial. Most lyme disease is easily cured with routine antibiotics prescribed by a doctor familiar with lyme. Late stage lyme disease occurring after initial treatment is usually due to a repeat infection. Persistent symptoms after antibiotics (post lyme syndrome) are not fixed by additional antibiotics & requires further medical research.

Lyme Disease: Very difficult to answer. At least 3 weeks of antibiotics are recommended but there can be variable responses to treatment. Some people are treated and have no lingering symptoms, others can have many.
