Are antiinflammatory drugs immunosuppres
I have had covid like infection twice in one month because of which i was taking mefanamic acid continuously. Now for the last 8-9 days, i have been getting pain in my left eye which hasnt gone away even after taking eyedrop of moxifloxacin. I have had a weak immune system and i catch infections really fast. I was worried if because i have taken antiinflammatory for such a long time it has suppressed my immune system and there is mucormycosis coming in my eyes though i am not aware. What kind of diagnksis should i take for mucormycosis?
