Do steam inhalation daily for sinus pain. But if pain persists get tested again for mucormycosis because diabetic pts who were under steroid treatment are high risk. Always keep your blood sugar levels under control. Don't stress too much also. Anxiety and stress will also aggrevate the pain.

Sinus problem is associated with covid infection even after recovery.
black fungus infection is common in diabetics.
Watch for these symptoms-headache, swelling over eyes and nose.
NOTE: it is a rare infection
