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.

What number is 156 in blood sugar?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is random sugar 160 means diabetic?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, I am a patient with high blood pressure and sugar. For the last few days, I have been suffering from muscle pain and headache. I consulted a doctor and was advised some medicine after blood tests. After three days of taking those medicines, there has been no improvement in my health. Please check my doctor prescription and test report, which are attached.
