HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the lungs injury (Punctured ) already procedure done for pneumothorax then it may take at least week to come around if not complication ever happened, second it is all depends upon the age of patient, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
