I've been really anxious about something recently. I tested positive for COVID-19 about a month ago, and a week after that, I got mild pneumonia. The doctor put me on steroids, and now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm really worried about the risk of getting black fungus. I've never had diabetes or any other diseases, and I was in home isolation the whole time I had COVID. Do you think I could still be at risk for contracting it?

View allI was eating dinner tonight and ended up coughing with food still in my mouth. Now I feel like there might be a tiny piece of food stuck in my sinus area because it mildly burns, and I've been producing quite a lot of mucus. Should I just wait for it to clear up on its own, or do you think I should see a doctor?
That would go on its own, do salt water gargling twice a day,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been noticing a bit of blood when I spit in the mornings, but it's not a regular thing and it isn't accompanied by any coughing. An ENT specialist mentioned it might be due to dryness. I'm also dealing with a mild fatty liver, but otherwise, I've been feeling okay. I'm in my 30s and just curious if there's anything else I should be considering or doing about this?
Yes as your doctor said that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.
