Black fungus
My father was corona positive around 2months ago and was in hospital for 12days. He was on oxygen support at home for a month. Now his saturation levels are 94 and above. He is not diabetic and sugar levels are normal.he has tooth pain(pain while chewing) and light swelling around eye peripheral area now. He's not having any other symptoms like nose blockage,jaw pain or face swelling etc. Do I need to worry about it. What tests can be done to rule out black fungus

Pl do endoscopic test by Ent specialist and if needed do Mri of sinuses.Normally black fungus will occur in pts with DM,on high steroids. Swelling over cheeck,near eyes,and black,or brown crusts through Nose will occur. Hence need not worry.
