How Long It Takes To Cure Sepsis Infection?
My son has been in ICU for 2 weeks due to a sepsis infection form an abcesed tooth. He had to have surgery last Tues because he had vegetation on one of the valves of his heart. There was also vegetation in his lung. His hemoglobin and blood pressure have been low. Hemoglobin is up after the 3rd blood transfusion, however only to 7.5 Blood pressure is up to 90/50 from 80/40. How long does it usually take after this severe of an infection to regulate. Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I can understand your concern as long as the sepsis is concern the recovery depends upon the severity of the case and drug response if every thing goes uneventful then this could take few days or within week this would come around, hope this information helps.
