I'm a bit worried because I accidentally hurt my uvula while cleaning my tongue, and now it's turned a blood red color and is really painful. Do you think I should go see a doctor, or can I just wait it out and let it heal on its own?

I've recently gotten over COVID-19, but now I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and I'm not sure what to do. I'm experiencing nasal congestion and occasional headaches. During my recovery, I was on steroids40mg for five days, 20mg for two days, and then 10mg for another two days. Afterwards, I took voriconazole 200mg for four days as per the advice I received. The nasal congestion feels really uncomfortable, and honestly, it's starting to scare me a bit. What should I do about this uneasiness?

That could be Sinusitis or DNS,do steam inhalation when needed,no need to worry If it is bothering you much visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
