The physical symptoms should go away on their own as the body is now capable of normal recovery. Lost FP should recover within hours (per the recovery rules,) lost HP within days (per the recovery rules,) and anything else non-permanent should be naturally restored over the course of as little as several days to a few weeks via the body's natural healing processes.

I think this is exactly what Kromm and I meant. The pathogens are gone and the immune system stands down. Neither the disease itself nor the body's own immune response cause
further damage or symptoms and the patient can no longer infect others. However, what damage has been done, is done; but now the body can heal normally, like you said.
Unless you give it a push with a "regular" healing power, like Afflict: Regeneration, standard Healing for HP, a healing spell, potion, whatever.
