When should I get tested?

- Colds and viral bronchitis: symptom treatment; antibiotics are only prescribed when there is a bacterial infection.
How long am I contagious?
Flu spreads from one day before symptoms until 5 to 7 days after. With COVID-19, stay home until you have been fever-free for 24 hours and improving, then wear a mask for 5 more days.
When should I go to the ER?
Trouble breathing, chest pain, bluish lips, confusion, fever that does not come down with medication, or oxygen saturation below 92% need emergency care. Babies under 3 months with a fever should go to the ER.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Which rapid tests do you run if I have a fever and a cough?
A nasal swab for influenza A and B and a rapid COVID-19 antigen test; if your throat is very sore, a strep test too. They are rapid tests and the result comes back during the visit, along with an oxygen reading.
02When is the best time to come in for testing?
The flu test is most accurate in the first days of symptoms. The COVID-19 test can be done from the first day of symptoms or 5 days after a close contact; if it is negative and symptoms continue, it is repeated.
03Will I get an antiviral or an antibiotic?
It depends on the result. Flu antivirals work best when started early, and there is a COVID-19 antiviral for people with risk factors. Antibiotics are only given for a bacterial infection, not for a cold or viral bronchitis.
04Which breathing symptoms mean going to the ER?
Trouble breathing, chest pain, bluish lips, confusion, a fever that will not come down with medication, or oxygen below 92%. A baby under 3 months with a fever should go straight to the ER.
05Can I get my flu shot at the clinic?
Yes, the annual flu vaccine is available at the FM 529 clinic, ideally between September and October. If you have a fever today, it is better to wait until you recover before getting it.
