Cheltenham Rapid Strep Test at AFC Urgent Care

AFC Cheltenham provides on-site rapid strep throat testing. Strep throat, aka streptococcal pharyngitis, is a bacterial infection that causes extremely sore throats and swollen lymph nodes. The infection is transmitted through inhaling an infected person's droplets (coughing, sneezing, etc.). If strep is left untreated it can cause complications such as kidney inflammation or rheumatic fever.

A healthcare provider cannot tell if you have strep throat just by looking at your throat. One of the only ways to identify strep throat is using a rapid strep test. A sore throat may seem innocent at first, but it can be a bigger issue than it appears. In addition to the rapid test, a throat culture can determine if strep is the cause of your sore throat symptoms.

The health professionals at Cheltenham AFC Urgent Care can provide such tests so that you can move on to the next critical step: finding a way to heal.

A rapid strep test requires swabbing the throat and running a test on the swab. This process is both straightforward and speedy, ensuring you can get your results as soon as possible As the name suggests, the rapid test quickly shows if strep is causing the illness.
