What is a Rapid Strep Test?

A rapid strep test detects the presence of Streptococcus bacteria, the cause of strep throat. The test provides quick results, allowing for prompt treatment if strep is present.

Symptoms of Strep Throat

Common symptoms of strep throat include a sore throat, pain when swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Children and adults alike can contract strep throat.
