Customer question:
How long does a sepsis infection last? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The duration of an infection leading to sepsis depends on several factors, including the type of infection, the treatment being given, and the patient's general health. Sepsis is treated with antibiotics and other supportive measures; the duration of treatment may vary depending on these factors.
Some infections can be controlled and treated quickly, so the duration of sepsis in these cases can last from a few days to a few weeks. However, there are cases when sepsis develops due to more persistent or hard-to-control infections, which can prolong the duration of treatment.
It is also important to note that recovering from a septic infection may require an additional recovery to regain full physical strength and functionality. The duration of sepsis is, therefore, very individual and depends on the specific circumstances of each case.
