What Are The Side Effects Of Nexplanon Implant?

My wife has been having fever from 99 to 101 for 5 weeks after getting the Nexplanon implant to help with her Endometriosis. Can Nexplanon be causing the fever? She has had multiple blood tests and a chest X-ray that show now infection. Doctors keep saying it s just viral. But can a virus really last that long?

see nexplanon implant can give flu like symptoms,but for a short while only.here when tests indicate infection then she need to immediatly get the implant out and the chest infection treatment whether viral or bacterial in origin should be treated accordingly and as early as possible. also do get check for any vaginal infections or ectopic pegnancy which might also be the cause for her infection.
