No: You would need antibiotics or antiviral medicines.

Unlikely: I can only say unlikely because I am not quite god. But sepsis occurs because the body is being overwhelmed by the effect of infection or its inflammatory effect. Treatment would require the proper antibiotics and temporizing measures to help the body overcome this process.

A member asked:
I am guessing that if an elderly person (not me) has COPD & a pleural effusion (even if the person doesn't have a lung infection) then this would make it harder to survive sepsis. But if so, would either be likely to make a significant difference?
