Ok I need someone who’s not incredibly anxious help me here lol. I had a throat swab for the COVID-19 test. CDC recommends nasal swabs over throat. Idk if it’s more accurate? I tested negative. I’m starting to feel better but i still have the dry cough. I can’t even turn my head or talk more than a sentence without a coughing fit. Would you just take the negative result and continue with your life? Or would you push to be tested again with the nasal swab?

For piece of mind especially since you work in the medical field ( I think? ) I’d ask for the nasal swab .

I do work in healthcare! It just sucks the tests take so long

I thought so just wasn’t sure lol , if it’s going to make you feel better or less anxious go for it .
I didn’t know there was a throat swab though

I thought they only do the nasal swab to test for it? 🤔 at least according to my SIL who is a respiratory therapist in the hospital.

@kellynicole, of course if you’re going to be working or out of the house and you feel like your first result was inaccurate, get tested. If you were staying home and nobody in the home was leaving and around others It wouldn’t be needed. My kids and I picked up a bug a few weeks ago. It took weeks to get rid of the cough. At first it was dry but over time became productive and got better. Hopefully yours is nothing serious. Is anyone else in the home sick?

@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, I’m the only one. It’s been almost two weeks since my first symptom appeared. Most symptoms have stopped it’s just the cough now

we got sick on the beginning of March and just recently got rid of the cough. Do you have a humidifier?

That's so odd. Have they ruled out every thing? The stiffness reminds me of meningitis but the cough reminds me of walking pneumonia.

Same with me. I tested neg. I felt better. And still feel even better now. But the cough has stuck with me. Hurts my ears at times. But it's getting better. Doesn't help that I have allergies 🙄 I keep a humidifier going. It's helped
