Even a minor infection is scary. I just had my wisdom teeth out and I'm being hyper cautious about masking and sticking to WFH while my mouth is full of swollen wounds, because I know catching a cold would be absolute agony. My co-worker went through catching a bug recovering from same and was out for a few weeks.
