A member asked:
Does shigella ever go away on its own without antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It goes away, but before that dangerous complications can occur if antibiotics are not given, including death. Your repeated questions about intestinal infections despite no symptoms suggest rather intense germophobia focused on your gut. Germophobia can be an early sign of very serious mental health disability. Do you suffer from other aspects of OCD? Please consider professional counseling.
