I took Methylprednisolone 16 mg for 2 days and stopped. After 3 days, I developed pain on both sides of my head, jaw, and teeth, along with eye redness. My random blood sugar was 112 mg/dL at 7 PM. Please advise how I can manage these symptoms. Could I be at risk of black fungus (mucormycosis)? I am attaching my blood reports, including CBC, CRP, and blood sugar.

Random sugar 112 is normal. Post steroid symptoms may mimic infection. Black fungus risk is higher in uncontrolled diabetics. If eye redness or facial pain worsens, see a doctor urgently.
