I've found this example sentence for 置く in my textbook:
三日置いて治った。(She recovered after three days).
I've looked this usage up but really couldn't find anything relevant. Could you clarify how and in what situations it's used? Many thanks.

1@JACK `Placed to heal for three days` <- 違います (> <) この「置く」です→ https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/41709/9831 / https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/11201/9831 The object of 置く is the period of time ("3日" "1日"), not the sick/injured person or injury/sickness. ◎「１日(を)おく」◎「3日(を)置いて(病気が)治った」 ✖「病気/病人を3日置く」 – Chocolate Aug 11 '19 at 02:24
