What to Expect During a COVID-19 Test
A typical visit for COVID-19 testing includes:
- Symptom and Exposure Review : We’ll ask about recent symptoms such as fever, cough, or sore throat, and whether your child has had close contact with someone who tested positive.
- Medical History Discussion : We review your child’s health background to understand any conditions that may increase risks and guide care if the test is positive.
- Test Administration : Depending on the situation, a nasal swab, throat swab, or saliva test may be used. The process is quick and usually takes just a few seconds.
- Results and Next Steps : Families receive information on when to expect results and what to do while waiting. If the test is positive, we provide guidance on isolation, care at home, and when it is safe to return to school or activities.
- Follow-Up Care : If needed, we discuss treatment options for managing symptoms and schedule additional visits to monitor recovery.
