Puffiness under eyes due to steroids

2021-05-20 09:44:07
My mother was diagnosed with covid 19 last month. She was put on methylprednisolone dose of 16mg which was tapered off to 8mg and 4mg and stopped. During taking methylprednisolone she had puffiness under both her eyes. Doctor told it is due to steroids. Nowadays after stopping the steroids the puffiness has reduced but she still has it. Mostly it is more prominent in the morning. Today she has puffiness under both her eyes. Is this something to worry about or something related to mucormycosis ? Please help
