Not all people who get affected by covid will end up having mucor. What you are experiencing most likely not the same. Firstly seek treatment for you’re current symptoms. There is no need for radiological investigations at this stage.

Risk of fungal infection only when there is immunity is down so it's not for life time. Early symptoms are nasal blockage, black discharge, facial and eye swelling. First you should consult before going for investigations.
