Default nasty soil pipe leak fixed - what to do with damp plaster now?

The soil pipe was leaking inside the cavity of the front wall of the
house - fixed now but I am wondering what to do with very damp inside
wall below. A couple of square feet of the finish coat have come away
but it is mostly still intact, just very damp. The cavity is filled
with blown fibre.
Should I
# leave alone to dry out?
# drag out the fibre? - not impossibly difficult as I could get access
via a corner return-
# and/or do I need to do some re-plastering?
Thanks for suggestions

It'll all dry out if you leave it, but will be very slow
