Then how does this disease occur and what care should be taken to prevent this disease
Question: What is mucomycosis disease? What causes this disease?
Answer: Mucormycosis is a fungal infection. The disease causes fungus to grow and rot in certain parts of the body. The disease is more likely to occur if oral hygiene is not maintained, as the oral cavity activates the disease. If this cavity is not cleaned, the disease spreads to the mouth, then blocks the nose and directly affects the brain, so regular cleaning of the mouth is unlikely to cause the disease.
Question: Is it right if people get MRI and CT SCAN out of fear?
Ans: In the current situation people are scared so they are doing all the reports themselves. The rest of the people are also told by the dentist to do CB CT SCAN without the need for their precaution. This is wrong in my view as they continue the treatment of mucormycosis after writing this report even though the patient has normal toothache. Instead of trying to recover, they wallow in their sadness and thus, experience more failure. Not all of these reports are needed in the primary stage.
Question: What precautions should be taken by the corona patient and the general patient to prevent this disease?
Ans: If the patient is undergoing treatment in the hospital and he is on oxygen or biopap, then the oral hygiene is maintained by giving him anti-cavity medicine. If the patient is on ventilator, it is not advisable to remove the oral cavity. If a normal person brushes twice a day and rinses with mouthwash, he is less likely to get this disease.

Jayesh Rajpura said that in order to prevent mucormycosis, a covid patient should wear a mask, wash his hands frequently, wear a full-length shirt and flower pants.
How to get protection?
The fungus is mostly produced in the fallen rotting leaves, dung, and immediately affects people with weakened immune systems when it enters the body through the air. This fungus is protected if the person is wearing a mask. This fungus is easily infected if the mask is not worn.
