How Long Does It Take to Recover from Epiglottitis?
Labels Epiglottitis
People with epiglottitis are hospitalized, usually in intensive care, for several
days to a week or more to manage the infection that led to epiglottitis. The
time it takes to fully recover varies depending on the particular infection.
Possible complications of epiglottitis include pneumonia, ear infection,
and, rarely, meningitis or bacteremia caused by the same microorganism
that caused the epiglottitis.
If not treated quickly, epiglottitis can result in complete airway
obstruction (air can no longer flow into the lungs) and death.
