Yes katyJ my granddaughter had a very acute chest infection recently still coughing a bit, all her friends have been down with tonsillitis and chest infections but all negative (bar one) She also told me she’s heard of some tb cases amongst some young ones I guess that’s the problem with nearly 18 months lockdown when you creep out you catch every germ going
I heard a doctor on radio last week emphasising lateral flow tests were only for detecting those who may be symptom free and inadvertently spreading it and they’re not for anyone who has symptoms. She advised that if any symptoms we should book a PCR at a test centre.
LFT are not always correct I d get a PCR for you both There are a lot of other things going round too my g daughter has just had an acute chest infection (twice) but both times she was negative both with LFT and with PCR She also told me a number of young people recently tested positive for TB ?
Thank you I did wonder if the lateral flow were accurate I don’t think your supposed to use them if you have symptoms. DH must have sneezed 30 times today don’t think we’re in for a good night ?
I started with a sore throat yesterday, had an unsettled night nose running, sneezing , coughing. Had to phone in sick at work today. It suddenly dawned on me that I can’t smell anything, DH reckons you can’t smell when you have a cold anyway, I honestly can’t remember, it’s a long time since I had one. I’ve had two negative lateral flow tests. Should I send for a PCR just to make sure ?
