You should consult retina specialist for recheck up for any fresh pathology because you are highly myopic ,& if there is no fresh pathology you should try to ignore it.

Floaters are due to vitreous degeneration ,& it usually occurs after 50 years but it may occur earlier also, you should consult retina specialist & if there is no retinal pathology ,you should try to ignore it.

Please donot worry no it's not a eye infection, just get your retina examined with an ophthalmologist and if it's normal than try to ignore them sometimes floaters can occur without any reason.

You are just 21 so do not take stress. Over a period of time floaters reduces in size and becomes less annoying. YAG laser can treat your problem but unfortunately in india success rate is low though many self proclaimed specialist can perform it. Now you know the risk so do a thorough study before accepting the treatment.

just avoid seeing them
these are entirely normal
