Brief Answer:
Repeat scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information.
Firstly, it is very important that you keep your blood glucose levels under normal range, as high blood sugar can lead to worsening of fungal infection anywhere in the body.
As you have already completed antifungal medication a repeat check scan would be necessary to ascertain the clearance of infection.
If the repeat scan shows infection again, then an option of endoscopic sinus surgery can be considered.
Hope, I answered your query
Wishing you good health
Regards
