Same-Day Diagnosis for Cold, Flu and COVID Symptoms near Melrose, MA

Viral respiratory infections like the common cold, cases of the flu and COVID-19 can all produce similar symptoms. Respiratory infections affect the lungs, airway and sinuses, and can lead to symptoms like congestion, coughing, and sore throats. Without proper testing, it can be difficult to know what is causing your symptoms.

Viral infections cannot be treated with medications, and instead, usually resolve on their own within a few weeks. Colds tend to be the most mild variety of respiratory infections, and they usually go away after about a week. Cases of the flu and COVID-19 sometimes take longer to go away, and can cause more severe symptoms including a fever and extreme fatigue. At AFC Stoneham, we have a laboratory on-site for rapid diagnostic testing, including PCR and antibody testing for COVID-19, rapid flu tests, RSV screening and strep throat testing.
