• Can kidney infections go away on their own?

I believe that I have a kidney infection, that could be mild because I'm not experiencing a lot of symptoms. Should I treat it or will it go away on its own? I don't want to take antibiotics.

Yes, sometimes the body will take care of the infection--drink plenty of fluids to try to wash the infection out, but if you get fever or chills, or start having nausea or vomiting, you need to be seen by the doctor.
