If the flu/covid-19/RSV COMBO antigen test is negative, should the test be repeated despite the presence of symptoms?
hello , daughter today began to have flu symptoms (I suspect immediately flu because my husband fell ill with flu type A -today the 5th day of his illness). I tested my daughter twice today and both came back negative (COVID, flu, RSV). We got Tamiflu with a recommendation of 10x1 if the test comes out negative, lib 5x1 if positive. Does it make sense to do the test on the next day? It is possible that today jescze test did not detect the virus simply?

Yes, if a person in close contact with a sick person shows symptoms of influenza, and despite this, the result of the antigen test on the first day of symptoms indicates a negative result, it is worth repeating the test the next day. It is possible that at this stage, the amount of virus antigen in the sample taken from the nose is insufficient to obtain a positive result. If the symptoms of infection persist, the test should be repeated the next day. Please note that in the case of antigen tests of this type, even a very pale line in the test field is considered positive. A short instruction on how to properly perform the test can be found in the following material:
