Please tell me how long it takes for to get over potassium deficiency?

Depends: If you are spuriously low from decreased oral intake, diarrhea or from diuretics (most common causes), you can correct immediately. If you have a disorder that causes persistent wasting of potassium either through the kidneys or bowels, it must be constantly supplemented.
