In most cases, the patient will be able to fully recover without medical care. The disease will usually last for around 3 weeks at the most, after which time they will go on to make a full recovery. Regardless, it is very important that the patient is monitored to ensure the condition doesn’t get worse.
If the symptoms do worsen considerably then hospitalization may be required. Here, they may be given oxygen to help them breathe and they may also be put on an intravenous drip to help keep them hydrated. It may also be necessary to put the patient on a ventilator in the more extreme cases.
