Black Fungus
I was Covid positive on 20th April and on 2nd May my Covid report came negative. I am non diabetic and my covid infection was mild and I have received 16mg steroids daily for 5 days in the guidance of Doctor. Recently I got CT Nose PNS and it has come normal. I have also consulted Optomologisit for eye check up and Doctor said it's normal. I want to ask when will Black fungus infect after recovery from Covid. I am worried a lot. It's in my mind every single time.

Keep your sugar level under control.... Take precaution as it occurs within 6 weeks of post covid recovery.... Don't overuse steroids.... And don't wear soiled mask... Wear clean mask.... Observe warning signs like nasal bleeding, black discharge from nose, nasal stuffiness, anesthesia over face, pain and swelling in eyes, decrease in vision, decrease movements in eyes....
Next Steps
don't panic... just take care of warning signs described above....
