COVID-19, Flu, and Strep Testing in South Salem

Sore throat, fever, and body aches can point to more than one illness, and treating the wrong one costs you time you do not have.

COVID-19 Testing

Whether you have symptoms, have been around someone who is sick, or need to know before visiting a family member, testing takes the guesswork out of it. Timing matters with COVID-19, and our staff can help you understand how the point in your illness may affect your result and which testing option makes the most sense for you.

Influenza Testing

Flu often arrives suddenly with fever, aches, and exhaustion, and it can look a great deal like COVID-19 from the outside. Testing tells the two apart, which matters because certain flu treatments work best when they are started early. If your result calls for a prescription, we can coordinate with your doctor and fill it here without a second trip.

Strep Throat Testing

Most sore throats are caused by viruses and improve on their own, but strep is a bacterial infection that needs antibiotics. A test is the only reliable way to tell the difference, and it spares you from taking an antibiotic you do not need. Strep testing is especially useful for school-aged children, where a sore throat can spread quickly through a household or classroom.
