SPOILER

Theoretically Porly might get the key-ingredient for the cure before the actual boss-fights are done by the Dragon Slayers, so Laxus might wake up early enough to deal with some left over mid-level Demons.

Usually he'd just one-shot them, but due to the long coma and possible after-effects of either the cure or the poison, he might even be sufficiently weakened to make such a fight challenging.
