I have several symptoms which go away whenever i have taken antibiotics. how can i find a doctor that will treat these symptoms as an infection?

Seems backwards.: Maybe your symptoms would go away without antibiotics? Infection is usually heralded by swelling, redness, pain, warmth and sometimes more generalized symptoms. If your symptoms don't match then antibiotics may not be for you and you should consider treating with something else. Seems you should look for a doctor who can understand your symptoms and treat them.
