A member asked:
My dad has endocarditis, been unwell for months and got bad last week. hes been on iv antibiotics for 4 days m, how long should it take for him to notice a difference in feeling better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: This is a question best answered by those who know the case well. There is no one size fits all response with so little information. The patients age, pre-illness health, origin of the endocarditis, & other factors are variables that matter. Ask his treatment team.
