How long does valley fever last?

A relative who lives abroad mentioned they had Valley Fever, and it sounded quite serious. It's not common here, but I was curious. How long does Valley Fever typically last for someone who gets it?

Valley fever, ah, it sounds serious. Any fever needs attention. Usually, viral fevers run their course in a week, but if it's something specific like Valley fever, the recovery can be longer, sometimes even months, depending on the person. It's best to follow doctor's advice carefully and take proper rest.

Valley fever, sounds like a tough one! Generally, fevers are annoying. If it's a specific kind like this, it can linger for weeks, or even months for some people. My body just needs extra rest for anything, yaar. Proper diagnosis is key.

Any kind of fever can be so worrying, especially if it's something like Valley fever. It's really hard when you don't know how long you'll feel unwell. From what I've heard, it can vary a lot, sometimes weeks, sometimes even months to fully recover. Please rely on your doctor's guidance for this.
