How Long Is The Recovery Time For Urosepsis With Home Care And Antibiotics?

How long is the recovery time for urosepsis? My dad has diabetes and went to the hospital for it. He is on antibiotics and was discharged today after four full days in the hospital. I'm wondering how soon he might get better with home care and antibiotics.

Hi,
the recovery depends of bacterial sensitivity to the antibiotic and also the antibiotic property. So the recovery may vary from 5 - 12 days.

Adhere to all the medications and ask your father to monitor sugar levels. Maintaining sugar level is most important factor required for faster recovery.
