Septic shock: what is the typical recovery period after being stabilized?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Variable: Recovery period depends on age, nutrition, kidney injury or disease, heart function, lung disease and many more. It can take from few weeks to several months to recover and some times it could be only partial recovery.

Depends: Depends on the patient's severity of disease, e.g. Number of organ systems affected; age and comorbidities. Normally, the patient will spend a few days on the general medical ward after being discharged from the ICU and then go to rehab for 2-3 weeks. But these are just very general guidelines.
