Since my non-diabetic father has recovered after taking a gradually decreasing dose of Medrol, should we consult a doctor to check him for black fungus?

Risk of developing black fungus (mucormycosis) is extremely low. This condition primarily affects individuals with uncontrolled diabetes or those on prolonged, high-dose corticosteroids. Since your father is non-diabetic and has safely completed his tapered course of Medrol (methylprednisolone), routine screening is not necessary. Simply monitor him during his recovery. If he develops any unusual symptoms such as one-sided facial pain, nasal congestion with dark discharge, headache, or eye swelling, please consult a doctor.
