Hey guys! I have a slightly sore throat, and now I'm worried it might be strep. It's hard to get into the hospital; my appointment is in a few days, and I can't wait any longer. Does anyone know if it's possible to do a home strep test? I've seen some kits online, but I'm not sure if they work properly. Has anyone tried it and can tell me what it looks like and how accurate it is?

I recently used the service 24hrdoc, and they offer online strep testing recommendations. They sent me instructions on how to do at home strep test . They explain in detail how to prepare and what to expect before going to the lab. This is convenient if you can't immediately see a doctor. Plus, the consultants explained which symptoms require urgent attention. I did the test at home, then submitted the results and received an online analysis. This saves time and immediately determines whether treatment is necessary. I recommend simply reading all the instructions carefully.
