Could the swelling in the lining of my nose and sinuses shown on my CT scan, along with my blocked nose and feeling of facial swelling, be a fungal infection like black fungus or aspergillus, given that I recently recovered from COVID-19 and took the steroid Predmet 4?

While serious fungal infections like mucormycosis or aspergillus can sometimes occur after using steroids like Predmet 4 (methylprednisolone), they remain quite rare. It is much more common for your symptoms and CT findings to be caused by a typical bacterial or viral sinus infection, or lingering inflammation from COVID-19. To give you peace of mind and ensure you get the right treatment, I highly recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist soon.
