He has no history of covid , no steroid but he is diabetic and taking Diapride M2 daily. However his diabetes has been under control. Is there any chance of Black Fungus ? Is Diapride M2 a steroid ? He already had loosing teeth problem, last month too he lost his one tooth but there wasn't any swelling. His age is 60 years. it's been 2 weeks after second dose of Covishield.

No it is not a steroid.
Loose tooth or upper jaw dental problem may cause mild cheek swelling.
More history would be appreciated.
Please consult.
