The Cape Town Test got completed within four days, including a day that was entirely washed out.
With match-winning figures of 9/75 on his home ground, Philander gave South Africa a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series on Monday.
Chasing 208 on day four for their third ever Test win on South African soil, the Indian batsmen let their team down for the second time in the match, getting skittled out for 135 in 42.4 overs.
Philander said the playing eleven of the first Test will be picked according to the conditions.
The injury list also includes all-rounder Chris Morris and pacer Lungi Ngidi, both set to miss the Test series and are likely to return for the T20s late October.
The pacer, who has 10 wickets in the series, spent the second night of the Oval Test in hospital on a drip and was unable to bowl as he had to make back time he had spent off the pitch ill.
After Philander's condition failed to improve, he was rushed to the nearby hospital for further investigation.
South Africa's seam attack, led by Vernon Philander, enjoyed the cloudy and humid conditions that led to extravagant swing on Day 1 of the third Test against England at Kennington Oval.
The right hander made significant contributions of 54 and 42 while batting at number seven and took three wickets in England's second inning.
South Africa's big lead was built on second-innings half-centuries by opener Dean Elgar (80), Hashim Amla (87) and captain Faf du Plessis (63).
