Work in a physicians office. tested positive for flu b on nov 6. felt flushed today and got nervous. tested positive b again. false positive? no fever

Probably false pos: Influenza can be asymptomatic. However, it would seem the two tests were several weeks apart. If the first result was true, the second test should have become negative. But best for you to check with your employer or your personal physician.
