This is very concerning. I feel like a lot of testers are not well trained. Do they even know the nose anatomy and what they're poking at??? This isn't a strept throat culture where you can clearly see what you're touching.
I had to get tested twice in the last few weeks (because I needed to have a procedure done at the hospital). The 1st time I barely felt a pinch and I'm sure she went deep enough (I felt it).
The second time, at a different place, was quite painful. I had pain inside in a spot I couldn't even reach to try to put counter pressure on for relief. B"h went away after a few hours. But it made me wary of the whole testing thing.

There are lots of reasons. I don't know what the current protocols are in the US, but where I live, you need a negative test before any medical procedure.
Also, if you were in close contact with a confirmed case, you need to stay home for 7 days and then test negative before you're allowed to go back to work/school.
Everyone in my family has been tested (some multiple times) because of this, even though none of us ever showed symptoms.
Op, I hope you are feeling OK, but even if you are, please see a doctor to check things out.

OP here. I have been taking the anti inflammatory and antihistamine as instructed. I have an earache still this morning. I plan to go in for an exam. I don’t think I would without reading some of the posts here.
My post wasn’t a debate about testing or not. It was really a cautionary note about testing and the just test comments. I didn’t test for no reason and said that a few times. I have a family member that I need to care for who is in multiple high risk groups. We have been rotating care and it’s my turn.

Go to Dr. Lapin's urgent care or Asisa urgent care. |
Good to know. Thank you.

I was thinking about you on Shabbos. Glad you tested negative, but--
Please see if you can make an ENT appointment today, many places can start that process online.
Refuah shleima!

Some people test because it is required by their employer to test regularly (ie every 2 weeks), others before a medical procedure or prior to visiting an elderly relative, some after returning from a hotspot or having had an exposure, etc.

I went for a test because DH was sick & if I had it I could stop being so careful around him... it was negative. But I had a burst blood vessel in my eye the next morning. And I believe it was a PA doing the test.
I later tested for antibodies (also negative) and I hope I am done with testing.
