simple seasonal virus is dangerous for the implant?

Postby Mike1987a » Thu Apr 25, 2024 4:20 pm

Good evening, I would like to ask after 4-5 months from the implantation, should I still be afraid of a simple virus during the season, I do not have any health problems

After 4-5 months I don't think you have to worry about a virus affecting the implant.

Are most of the infections on the implant viral or bacterial?
