How long does a strep test take in Oakwood?

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 Oakwood?

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.

These wonderful, incredible people saved my dad's life in Nov 2021. He's immunocompromised and had COVID, and he was not doing well at all. But he was adamant about not going to a hospital, because everyone we know who was admitted for COVID didn't make it out alive. (It's still happening too: just lost another cousin today to the killer protocols.) I truly believe that if my dad hadn't received the treatment and meds that he was given here, we would have lost him. He recovered, thanks to the staff at Bulldog Urgent Care & their life-saving assistance. He's regained his strength, and is now back to doing things that alarm his regular doctors-- they don't believe 81 y.o. men should be climbing on roofs to repair them, or working outside for hours in the summer heat in GA, for instance. :) But that's just my dad! I can NEVER thank you enough for what you did to save my daddy. But I will keep all of you in my prayers for the rest of my life. You're my heroes, and I am eternally grateful.
