How long does a strep test take in Thermal?

A strep test usually only takes a few minutes. A throat swab is used for the strep A test, whereas a cotton swab or a urine sample is used for the strep B test. Your healthcare provider can tell you how long your strep test will take based on the procedure used.

What happens if you test positive for group B strep?

Adults seldom show symptoms or get sick with Group B strep, but it can be dangerous for newborns. Antibiotics are commonly given to pregnant women who test positive for group B strep to keep the illness from spreading to the baby as it goes through the birth canal. Because the infant will not be exposed to germs in the delivery canal, antibiotics are not required for women with group B strep who are having a scheduled Cesarean section.

How much does a strep test cost in Thermal?

A strep test's price is influenced by a variety of criteria, including provider rates, the type of test (throat swab, vaginal swab, or urinalysis), geographic region, and if your health plan covers this treatment. Getting an estimate from your health insurance company or the step test company is the quickest way to figure out how much a strep test will cost.

Took my spouse in Friday and saw PA Timothy and Nurse Mary. My spouse was urinating a lot of blood. They gave him immediate and professional care and at the same time, they kept him calm and pain free. They truely care about their patients and work promptly, yet carefully to manage the problem. I definitley will return to the Palm Springs Desert Oasis Urgent Care again if needed. Dave

Jennifer Fukasawa has been the best at addressing my medical concerns. She will listen and help, which is what I need during a medical urgency. If you have time to make an appointment with your primary physician, obviously do that, but if you need help asap, I recommend this urgent care.
