Black Fungus Doubt
I was covid positive a month back. I visited ENT and undergone Nasal Endoscopy and doctor said I dont have any issue. I have slight eye pain also and I visited Eye specialist and doctor said my eyes are also fine. I am still worried because of Black Fungs. Even after visiting doctors I am worried. I dont have diabetes and i was put on steroids for 5 days 16mg daily. Please help.

If your ENT doctor has clinically examined you correctly and saying that you don't have an issue ... trust him.
Slight eye pain may be due to any other condition...

You need not to worry as Black fungus is more commonly seen in:
1.Immunocompromised patients
2. Diabetic
3. People put on Steroids for long term
So, please don't panic,as you don't fit any of above 3 and are already been examined by doctors.

only biopsy is the surest test for mucormycosis.
