In the 2005 "War of the Worlds" screenplay there's no canon explanation of the interval between the invasion and the first alien deaths from disease. It's merely described as;
"Voiceover : From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate and drank,
they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's
weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God and
his wisdom, put upon this earth."
In the original "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells, the chapter heading for Book 2 : Chapter 6 is headed 'The Work of Fifteen Days' and indicates the destruction wrought by the aliens in the two weeks of their initial invasion. Our hero finds his first dead alien two days later.
I see no reason to assume that the film-makers departed from this timeline.
