You should get tested if you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19, such as cough, fever, sore throat, and nausea. You should also undergo testing if you have been in close contact with someone who is exhibiting these symptoms or if you work in a high-risk facility, such as a senior’s home or school. Testing should be done regularly if you work in these high-risk facilities.
Symptoms of the coronavirus can manifest in several different forms, including:
● Fever of 100ºF or higher (37.8ºC+)
● New or worsening cough
● Shortness of breath
● Nausea or vomiting
● Diarrhea
● Abdominal pain
● Pneumonia
Please note that these symptoms can be caused by other viral infections, such as influenza. However, due to the widespread nature of COVID-19, these symptoms should not be ignored and should be tested. If you have symptoms such as a runny nose or nasal congestion, be sure to rule out seasonal allergies as the culprit, as these are very common symptoms of seasonal allergies.
Some tell-tale signs of COVID-19 are:
● Sore throat
● Difficulty swallowing
● New olfactory or taste disorders, such as an inability to smell or taste
More serious symptoms of COVID-19 are:
● Unexplained fatigue or malaise (a general feeling of uneasiness)
● Delirium (acutely altered mental status and inattention)
● Unexplained or increased number of falls
● Acute functional decline
● Exacerbation of chronic conditions
● Chills
● Unexplained headaches
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please get tested, especially if you have underlying health conditions. In many cases, untreated symptoms can worsen over time. If your symptoms go untreated and they intensify, contact a healthcare specialist right away.
Testing for COVID-19 varies from state to state and country to country. Here at Agile Medical Care, we pride ourselves not only our professionalism but also on our pricing. In some states, antibody testing can cost thousands of dollars! At Agile Medical Care, our antibody testing services are affordable. Antibody testing is a test that looks for antibodies in the bloodstream in response to an infection, so if you have encountered the coronavirus (COVID-19), the presence of these antibodies will be detectable in the bloodstream. This is also known as serology, which is the scientific study or diagnosis of the blood serum in response to the immune system’s response to foreign pathogens or infections.
