About flu, COVID-19 & strep testing

Rapid testing is where urgent care earns its keep in respiratory season: flu, COVID-19, strep, and increasingly RSV panels run on-site with results before you leave — and a positive flu test inside the first 48 hours of symptoms opens the door to antiviral treatment.

Why the 48-hour window matters

Per the CDC, influenza antivirals work best when started within about two days of symptom onset, and matter most for higher-risk patients — adults 65+, young children, pregnant patients, and people with asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. That timing is why same-day testing beats a next-week appointment for flu specifically.

Strep deserves a test, not a guess

Sore throats are usually viral; antibiotics only help the bacterial minority. A rapid strep test plus culture backup settles it in minutes and prevents both untreated strep complications and unnecessary antibiotics.
