A member asked:
Can you diagnose for strep throat online and have a rapid strep test ordered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes; and Yes but No: Yes, a patient can get diagnosed with strep throat online, but that does not happen very often. The reason is because patients usually have symptoms that can be a viral, allergic, or irritant sore throat... so it is difficult to decide online that a patient has strep. Yes, a doctor can order a rapid strep test online... but No, a patient usually will not be able to find a lab that swabs throats.
