A member asked:
If i tested negative for a rapid antigen covid test despite having flu symptoms, is it still likely i have covid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Rapid antigen COVID-19 tests" can be inaccurate. Obtain a PCR test for COVID-19 to be more certain.

Good Morning, I recently had a COVID-19 test because I'm having some painful flu-like symptoms, however, the test came back negative. I began taking ibuprofren for the past four days, but it hasn't been helping as much as I thought it would. What would you recommend to be the next step? Flu-Like Symptoms?
