If u r not immunocompromised and not been put on heavy doses of steroids without blood sugar monitoring there are less chances of being a black fungus .. however that being said it is alwaz good to be cautious ... So if u have any symptoms like facial pain, headache , nasal block and crusting, blurring of vision, facial numbness , pain in teeth or upper jaw plz consult an ent specialist

Greetings. From your history, with recovery from covid - such irritation may occur. This likely involves the sinuses. However, more detailed history like
1. History of elevated blood sugars
2. Whether steroids were used as part of the treatment
3. Oxygen support during treatment
4. Any teeth problem, etc. Would help.
Further sinus evaluation may be needed to identify the problem.
Next Steps
consult online/directly with a nearby ENT specialist with detailed history for proper evaluation and management.
Health Tips
eat healthy food. avoid chilled food items. avoid wet/damp places.
