9. Will I Make a Full Recovery?
Most people make a full recovery from lymphangitis, but that depends on how urgently they treated the problem once discovered. This holds true even for people with underlying conditions. How healthy you were before the infection occurred also plays a role. The recovery time generally ranges from days to several months.
Unfortunately, with people who delayed treatment or were not healthy when the infection started, they may not recover. When lymphangitis goes untreated for too long, it can lead to sepsis. This is an infection that affects the whole body and can have life-threatening consequences.
