Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

Can you get a throat swab for swine flu?plus

Yes, swine flu (influenza A/H1N1) can be diagnosed from respiratory swabs. Clinicians commonly use nasopharyngeal or combined nasal/throat swabs; throat-only swabs are less sensitive. Laboratory PCR testing is most accurate, while rapid tests are less reliable. Testing is usually reserved for hospitalized or high‑risk patients, pregnant women, or when results will affect treatment or public‑health decisions.

How do I swab my throat for COVID?plus

Wash hands and open the swab without touching the tip. Tilt your head back, open wide and say “ah” to expose the tonsils. Use a mirror or helper. Swab the tonsils and back of the throat, avoiding the tongue, rotating the tip for 5–10 seconds per side. Insert swab in the transport tube, break at the scored line, seal, label, and wash hands.

What is the difference between COVID and swine flu?plus

COVID-19 is caused by the coronavirus SARS‑CoV‑2; swine flu (2009 H1N1) is an influenza A virus. They differ in incubation (COVID often 2–14 days; H1N1 ~1–4 days), typical symptoms (loss of taste/smell is common in COVID), treatments and vaccines (different antivirals and vaccine types), and patterns of severity and spread. COVID also often causes prolonged post‑infectious symptoms.

Which swab is used for COVID?plus

The most commonly used swab for COVID-19 testing is the nasopharyngeal (NP) swab , a long, flexible flocked swab inserted deep through the nose to the back of the throat , used mainly for PCR. Simpler anterior nasal (front-of-nose) or mid-turbinate swabs are used for rapid antigen tests and some PCRs. Oropharyngeal (throat) or combined nose-and-throat swabs are also used depending on test type.

Can I drink coffee or tea before THROAT SWAB FOR COVID/SWINE FLUTHROAT SWAB FOR COVID/SWINE FLU?plus

If THROAT SWAB FOR COVID/SWINE FLUTHROAT SWAB FOR COVID/SWINE FLU needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.
