Can antibiotics suppress symptoms without curing an infection? how long would that last?

You get the most from this site when you provide specific background information on a health problem followed by a clear related question. Here there is no description of the infection if there is one, no mention of the antibiotic/dose/duration of treatment. Without specifics the question is too vague for a reasoned answer. You are welcome to start over with data.
