Not every sore throat is strep, and that is exactly why the test exists. At Clínica Hispana Airline we run it walk-in and give **result and treatment the same day**.
Why telling them apart matters
Most sore throats are **viral** and clear on their own: antibiotics do nothing for them and only breed resistance. Strep, by contrast, is bacterial and **does** need an antibiotic, because untreated it can lead to complications. The test separates the two in minutes.
Signs that point to strep
- Severe sore throat that came on suddenly
- Fever
- Swollen, tender neck glands
- White patches on the tonsils
- **No cough**, which is a surprisingly useful clue
The more cough and congestion, the more likely it is viral.
What the test is like
A swab in the throat, a few seconds. Uncomfortable but very brief, and it needs no preparation.
If it is positive
The antibiotic is started that same day. **Finish the whole course** even if you feel fine after two days: stopping halfway is what allows the complications you are trying to avoid. You stop being contagious roughly a day after starting the antibiotic.
In children
It is common at school age and spreads easily in the classroom. If one sibling has it and another starts with a sore throat and fever, it is worth checking.
