Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
With proper treatment and good hospital care most cases resolve well with in ten to fifteen days maximum. In patients with comorbidities like diabetes and in old age recovery may get prolonged and chances for complications are more in this group of patients.
