It’s impossible not to describe an awful day with all the striking pain of a sore throat. Yes, those throbbing moments when even drinking a glass of water is a torment. Do you feel it? Well, Cityside Pharmacy can help you test your throat for streptococcus.
Strep Test options
Here are the two options you can take for a strep test:
1. Rapid Strep Throat Test
Strep throat can be painful or unbearable. If you experience severe streptococcus symptoms, we can do a rapid test to diagnose the bacteria behind the infection. Rapid Strep tests take about five minutes only. You can visit our pharmacy anytime to get the test.
2. Strep Throat Culture
Do you have a sore throat but are unsure if it’s strep throat? Do you want to confirm it even if rapid tests turn negative? We will do a strep throat culture to test if your throat infection is actually strep. If your doctor ordered a Strep Throat Culture, we do it and share the results in our pharmacy.
We can collect the sample at our pharmacy, just as we do for the Rapid Strep test. Then, we take the specimen to our lab for evaluation, which may take one to three days to get the results. And after the analysis, we will give you the results immediately. If strep is present, we can prescribe effective medications to help you treat your throat infection.
