Straightforward Testing
What Is a Strep Test?
A strep test checks for group A streptococcus bacteria, the most common cause of strep throat. It’s done with a quick swab of the back of your throat and usually gives results in minutes.
If the test is positive, our providers can start treatment right away, often with antibiotics to help you recover more quickly and reduce the risk of complications. If it’s negative, we’ll help determine if your sore throat is caused by something else, like a virus or allergies.
When to Get Tested
Do I Need a Strep Test?
Not every sore throat is strep. You may need a test if you have:
Sudden and severe sore throat
Painful swallowing
Red or swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
Swollen lymph nodes in your neck
Fever, headache, or body aches
No cough or cold symptoms (which usually suggest a virus instead)
If these symptoms sound familiar, a strep test can quickly give you clarity and peace of mind.
