When It Keeps Getting Better and Worse — The Waves of Recovery
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
When things keep getting better and then worse, you start to worry, "Is the treatment just not working?" But recovery usually comes in waves.
When a long-standing illness heals, it does not improve in a straight line. Days of improvement and days of stalling come in turns, and overall it often gets a little better bit by bit.
That is why, rather than the ups and downs of each day, I look together at the flow in units of weeks. If you focus only on the bad days, it is easy to lose sight of the larger direction of recovery. Having ups and downs is also a sign that the body is responding.
