Do I need to get tested again
I tested Covid positive on 24th April..was on dexamethasone for 10 days..4mg BD for about a week then 4mg OD for about 3-4 days.
I was symptoms free since 2nd of May and finally got discharge on 9th May.
I have no co morbidity..sugar level always within normal limit.
For safe side I have gone through endoscopy and also done MRI PNS all for Black Fungus.
I just want to know how ofter I have to visit ENT specialist or do I need to repeat these test and for how long any patient is susceptible for mucormycosis.

Unless you have symptoms like facial pain, watering of eyes, facial swelling, eye pain or anything similar , you don't need to get re tested.
