It is really a problematic situation. First we have to make sure tha it is a metal poisoning or a infection. It can be possible by doing Biopsy of near by lymph nodes. This will give us clear idea about your pathology. If metal poisoning is there and she does not respond to medications then better treatment will be removal of implant and put another prosthesis.
