Mucormycosis
My nose has been blocked for 20 days now, have eye pain too. I am ex covid, treated with 120mg methylpred from 9-16 april, and then 24mg deflazacort per day as discharge meds for next 14 days till 1 May. My sugars are normal (100fbs/135ppbs).
I DID CT PNS, MRI PNS and ORBIT, it came clear, still I wanted to know, till when I am at risk of mucormycosis. It has been 20 days I left oral steroids and 35 days post discharge. I asked thid earlier but got vague responses "it depends on lot of factors" etc. please give detailed responses.

As your reports are normal nothing to worry now.
Be on lookout for early symptoms of mucor like nose block, blackish nasal discharge, eye pain, redness of eye, headache, discoloration of palate etc.
Consult if you have any.

Greetings
According to your questions giving a defined timeline would be difficult
Only thing that get be done is just monitoring of symptoms if there is any worsening because all your reports have come out to be normal
It is not necessary that everyone on steroids for covid will get Mucor
