Are combo tests reliable? I have flu symptoms, and it came out negative.
I have symptoms of a typical flu, i.e. fever over 38 degrees, pain in the legs and arms, tenderness of the skin, headache, cough, chills, sore throat. I've had the flu in my life before and I know what it looks like. I did a combo test and nothing came out. Has anyone done this test yet? Is it reliable?
