Immune Recovery Time Post-Illness Calculator

Estimate recovery timeline, immune strength, and get support recommendations.

Input your recovery snapshot

Formula

Recovery days = baseRecovery (severity × 2) − daysElapsed + sleepBonus + nutritionBonus + stressPenalty, clamped to 0-30.

Immune strength = 100 − (severity × 8) + (sleep − 6) × 5 + (nutrition − 5) × 4 − (stress − 3) × 3, clamped to 0-100.

Better sleep, nutrition, and lower stress support faster recovery and higher immune strength.

Steps

  • Rate your illness severity from 1 (mild) to 10 (severe) at peak symptoms.
  • Count days since symptom onset or diagnosis.
  • Log average nightly sleep hours over the past few days.
  • Score nutrition quality (1 = poor, 10 = excellent whole foods, hydration).
  • Rate current stress level (1 = calm, 10 = very stressed).
  • Review estimated recovery timeline and immune support recommendations.

FAQs

What does the recovery time estimate represent?

It is a heuristic estimate of days until you may feel fully recovered, based on severity, time elapsed, sleep, nutrition, and stress factors.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. This is an educational tool. Always consult healthcare providers for actual illness management and recovery guidance.

How does sleep affect recovery?

Sleep is critical for immune function. Aim for 7–9 hours nightly. Poor sleep can extend recovery time significantly.

What nutrition score should I target?

Aim for 7–10: whole foods, adequate protein, fruits/vegetables, hydration, and minimal processed foods or excess sugar.

Can stress delay recovery?

Yes. Chronic stress suppresses immune function. Managing stress through rest, meditation, or light movement can support healing.

When should I return to exercise?

Gradually resume light activity once symptoms clear. Avoid intense training until fully recovered to prevent relapse.

Does age affect the estimate?

Yes, but this calculator uses general factors. Older adults or those with chronic conditions may need longer recovery.

What if symptoms worsen?

Seek immediate medical attention. This tool is for planning, not emergency care.

Can supplements help?

Some (vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C) may support immune function, but prioritize sleep, nutrition, and rest first.

How accurate is the timeline?

It is a rough estimate. Individual recovery varies based on many factors not captured here. Use it as a planning guide.

Summary

This tool combines illness severity, time since onset, sleep, nutrition, and stress into a single snapshot of how your recovery pattern looks in this model.

The estimates and suggestions are there to support gentle reflection and small lifestyle adjustments, alongside care from qualified professionals.
