Flu Testing

A cotton swab is used to swab the nasal passages or throat area to test for the flu virus. The results can be back in as little as 15 minutes to help you get results quickly. This allows you to know if the flu is causing your issues and what next steps to take. 

Once the results are back, we can advise you on the best treatment method. There are over-the-counter items and prescription items that can help lessen the symptoms and duration.
