How is Valley fever treated?
In many cases of Valley fever, no treatment is necessary because symptoms disappear on their own. People with more serious infections may need antifungal medications to cure the infection. Doctors usually prescribe antifungal medications for a period of 3 to 6 months. In some severe cases, people require hospitalization or long-term antifungal treatment.
What complications are associated with Valley fever?
Only a small number of people experience a severe Valley fever infection, which can cause serious and long-term lung problems. It is also possible for the infection to spread to other parts of the body. These complications are not common.
