[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just a regular flu test should be better than nothing, if OP wants some information?[/quote] Flu swab, and [b]RSV (new strain seems to be going around, looks like flu)[/b] and rapid strep antigen, given 102 F in an adult, which is unusual. Odds are most likely flu -- which has an early window to treat and mitigate negative outcomes, because you can slow or halt replication of the influenza virus. Also a good, thorough physical exam to look for signs of appendicitis, pneumonia, or other causes of high fever in an adult. There is much we can do. We just can't do much different if we have a positive COVID-19 test, at least not yet. [/quote] Good information about RSV (bolded). That's what started my daughter's asthma as a baby. I think that's what my friend had - he tested negative for everything including COVID-19[/quote]
